MSU has the eighth largest campus in the country, and it takes a lot to keep it pretty. Since it is in the state of Michigan, there is obviously endless construction going on. Many major roads are under construction as well as a brand new cultural center that has a lot of people excited.
The construction on the roads is expected to end in 2084, and the cultural center is expected to be finished in 2132. These are two projects people have to look forward to in the near future.
I took a trip to see the development in action for myself. I talked to the head of the crew who offered some insight.
“I swear we are moving as rapidly as humanly possible,” he said.
He then gave me a slice of Nate’s Grandmother’s signature lasagna, and it was incredible. After everyone helped to devour the lasagna, we played parachute games and hopscotch and then binged the first few Star Wars movies. We had so much fun that nobody could believe it was so late when the sun eventually went down.
The dark became a problem, but I learned they actually work overnight as well. They grabbed some flashlights and proceeded to tell ghost stories around a beautiful fire. After setting up a few bigger lights, we made smores and hot dogs over the fire. Following this it was finally time to call it a day but I had so much fun working construction for a day.
I for one am looking forward to seeing the cultural center and am looking forward to seeing everyone there in 108 years.
