The “green walls” created by the student organization Sustainable Spartans, with help from Infrastructure Planning and Facilities, sport pink blooms just in time to welcome students to campus. The greenscape on the library bridge was created in part to promote a sense of community following the COVID-19 pandemic. Photo by Derrick L. Turner.
A round of applause for the designer who breathed new life into an old conveyor belt, turning it into a lounge chair for students and visitors to take a load off in the new STEM Teaching and Learning Facility. Photo by Derrick L. Turner.
Even when the earth stands still, MSU students keep moving. This globe sculpture can be found in the International Center, a hub for many student resources, including the Office of International Students and Scholars, the MSU ID Office and Crossroads Food Court, which recently added several new dining options.

The STEM Teaching and Learning Facility was officially unveiled at a ribbon cutting ceremony on Sept. 10, 2021. Among the attendees were (left to right) Trustee Rema Vassar; Melissa Woo, MSU EVP for Administration and CIO; Trustee Brianna Scott; Teresa K. Woodruff, MSU Provost and EVP for Academic Affairs; Norman J. Beauchamp Jr., MSU EVP for Health Sciences; President Samuel L. Stanley Jr., M.D.; Trustee Renee Knake Jefferson; Alyssa Fritz, senior in communications; Dianne Byrum, MSU Board of Trustees chair; Debbie Stabenow, U.S. Senator for Michigan; Trustee Melanie Foster; Andrea Bierema, MSU Academic Specialist, Dept. of Integrative Biology; Curtis Hertel, Senator, State of Michigan; and, of course, Sparty. Photo by Derrick L. Turner.
Every year since 2001, MSU students have painted The Rock in commemoration of September 11, 2001. This year was no exception. Never forgot. Photo by Jacob Templin-Fulton.
The calm before the win. Spartan Stadium enjoyed a restful Friday evening before Saturday’s big win when the Spartans defeated Youngstown State 42-14. The streak continues (fingers crossed) as they face the University of Miami in Florida this weekend. Photo by Nick Schrader.

 


Bert Skowronski, Infrastructure, Planning and Facilities plumber, gears up for the first football game of the season at Spartan Stadium. Skowronski has an important job as part of a trades team that works to keep water flowing on game day. All the water for concessions, restrooms and everything in between is maintained by Skowronski and his team before, during and after the game. Photo by Nick Schrader.
An art display in the STEM Teaching and Learning Facility really turns “STEM” into “STEAM.” The display, made by artist Refik Anadol, resides in the last remaining boiler from the building’s days as a power plant. The display, called an “Infinity Room,” translates real time power consumption data from T.B. Simon Power Plant into an immersive art experience by using machine learning algorithms. The patterns created are influenced by different consumers of the power supply, primarily lighting, HVAC and office equipment. Photo by Nick Schrader.
