A smooth-leaved elm along the pathway of Olin Health Center offers shade and a bit of perennial history. MSU campus is home to more than 20,000 trees — some of the oldest date to between 350 and 400 years old. This one is definitely an oldie, but a goodie. Photo by Beth Brauer.

No need to pivot. Infrastructure, Planning and Facilities carpenters Steve Rondeau and Brian Arens expertly carry one of the first doors to replace the aging and worn doors to the MSU Fairchild Theatre. Photo by Nick Schrader.

The Spartan statue is a must-see during campus tours. A fan-favorite for incoming students as well as departing grads, it always makes a bold statement. Photo by Nick Schrader.

It’s alive! Verbascum blattaria seedlings, a weed commonly called moth mullein, germinated from the 140-year-old Beal Seed experiment, in the growth chamber. Photo by Derrick L. Turner.

This little guy was eager to see what our photographer had to offer. It doesn’t take much to befriend an MSU squirrel. Photo by Nick Schrader.
Good things are coming as the STEM Teaching and Learning Facility is in its final phases of construction. The project makes use of the former Shaw Lane Power Plant and pairs it with additions to the north and south of the renovated building, grossing 117,000 square feet of new space. The facility will provide the university with the unique opportunity to create a hub for teaching and learning. Photo by Nick Schrader.
