I guess we know how that all worked out. Sanity prevailing is now my modist hope!
I took a closer look at the circle of red boulders in front of the new student center, and I believe this is an outdoor fire pit. Which will be cool if they actually have a fire in there. I am thinking of EL's and Rotary Park fireplaces with no fires. I may be wrong [ maybe they light it up more these days, but I have never seen a fire] about downtown but EL's fireplace was not on all last winter.
Also, I been happy to see there has been only one "tagging" of the new Farm Lane bridge which happened the first weekend the students were back, it was covered right away. For some old fashion reason, I find tagging public property so dumb really. I can understand graffiti art, if well done as it were! I know young people may look at it all differently, I always say so go paint your own damn wall! sorry grand pa rant, I don't like mistreating library books either!
The new "I-M" going up on Harrison is quite the impressive building, the exterior facades and glass works are going up and it looks like it will be a nice looking very modern and interesting building. It resembles the "1855" building on Kalamazoo in design, the arena steel framing structure can be seen on the south side of the building. MSU builds when they say we are going to build, not in three years and nine months from now like most Lansing Projects.
I'm hoping I'll be back in town some time this summer. I'm looking forward to swinging through and checking everything out on my way to the Dairy Store for some ice cream.
thanks for posting the pics, I think the new MSU buildings are attractive contemporary and fit into the campus landscape. I have enjoyed watching their progress.
