The MSU Eli and Edythe Broad Museum stands out amongst historic north campus. The museum is still open for safe in-person visitors by using free, ticketed entry times. Photo by Derrick L. Turner.
The water trough, a gift of the Class of 1900 and built with a human drinking fountain on one side and one for horses on the other, serves as a reminder of the long legacy of MSU. Photo by Derrick L. Turner.
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.
In case you were wondering, the campus ducks are still friendly. Photo by Derrick L. Turner.
