    Steel is starting to rise at the Cyclotron. They have what looks like the second floor steel up on the extension further back from Shaw.

    I'm assuming it is, but do any of you know if the express purpose of this project is to attract the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams?

    That might be one of the reasons why it is under construction right now, but my guess is that it has been planned for a while. If they get FRIB, then there will probably be even more construction.

    If I remember correctly, this current expansion has nothing to do with the FRIB, but was simply scheduled work to expand the office and some utilities/storage places.

    MSU has requested $20 million for expansion on the new Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute in West Fee Hall. I'm not sure if this will call for external expansion or just a remodeling.

    News today: MSU will be getting FRIB! This is HUGE for MSU, mid-Michigan, and the whole state. Congratulations MSU. Overall, the project will cost $550 million.
    It also is expected to bring up to $1 billion in economic activity and 400 jobs to Michigan.

    Here is a graphic from the Lansing State Journal showing the FRIB expansion footprint:

    This is absolutely phenomenal! It's a huge feather in Lansing's hat and for MSU. News like this would be exciting at any point, but with the current economic climate nation wide this is a really great piece of news to get. I also didn't expect the decision this soon so it was a nice surprise when I read it.

    I'm so glad to this coming to MSU! Its says the the office expansion is supposed to start in 2009 if I'm reading it right and the accelorator will begin construction in 2012 with a 2017 completion. The only thing that sucks is that this was originally supposed to be a $5 billion accelerator as big or bigger than the new CERN facility.

    I think they were talking about the current office expansion that is set to be completed in 2009. They were saying that final construction planning is starting and they should get shovels in the ground in 2013.

    F%ck yeah! Sorry Chicagoland, but we need this far more than you do.

    Sorry, but this is huge not just for the area, but the entire state. This bad news was really starting to rack up, and this is simply awesome!

    I was a little worried about Obama possibly having some influence if this decision came later since it was a Department of Energy project, but I'm sure that was just paranoia on my part. Great news for the University, and Michigan as a whole.

    The Cyclotron expansion and the Wharton expansion are both going along very well. Glass is now being put up on the Wharton exterior, and all the steel is up at the Cyclotron. The walls are now being framed and insulated at the Cyclotron.

    I hope to get some pictures in the future, but I've lost my camera in the meantime so until then, you'll either have to go through MSU or take my word for it. It is pretty cool though to see all the work being done right next to each other.

    I don't know if I'll get chance to get out by MSU anytime soon, so I'll have to wait for pictures. Doesn't MSU post construction photos somewhere?

    I was surprised at how tall the office expansion is at the Cyclotron.

    Construction of the new 4.3 million dollar MSU baseball stadium is on track for opening April 3rd. It will feature 400 chair-backed seats and 2,100 bleacher seats. The number of chair-backed seats allows MSU now to be a host for NCAA regional games. The LSJ has more on the construction.

    I took a couple pictures while on the bus the other day. Quality isn't great but it gives a good update on the status of the Cyclotron and Wharton construction:

    Wharton is going to look great when the renovation is complete. When is it supposed to be completed by?
