Located on the northeast side of campus, Cook Hall was constructed in 1889. It is part of MSU’s historic Laboratory Row – six buildings constructed between 1888 and 1909. For more than 50 years it has housed graduate students from the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources. Renovations began in February 2018 and were completed just before the beginning of 2019, thanks to a gift from MSU alumnus Gary Seevers. Photo by Derrick L. Turner.
