I do like the quality of work on this. I can't wait to see the exterior completed, it should be a nice building, I just wish they didn't build it on the river...
The fencing is mostly completed, the signage is up and all the doors and windows are in on the MSP Headquarters, I haven't when the first people will be moving in for sure though.
A recent State News article discusses MSU's plans for the current MSP Headquarters once it's vacated. Terry Denbow notes that there has not been any "in-depth" discussion about what to do with the property yet, but they're considering a lot of options.
No offense to the author, but the article seems a little shoddily written. It's hard to keep track of who's talking about what, but at one point it appears that Rep. Rick Jones of Grand Ledge chimes in against the move, saying a mere $1 mil. renovation could've kept the police there until 2030. In terms of MSU's potential use of the building if they decide to leave it up, Rep. and former EL Mayor Mark Meadows seems to think it could be used for FRIB purposes.
I don't know where people come up with this stuff, that building needed to be gutted 10 or 20 years ago and he thinks a measly million bucks could make it fit for the next 20? I honestly can't believe that politicians think the public is that stupid, but then again their tactics do seem to work.

You can see what facade work has been done
