Michigan State University has embarked on an ambitious Campus Heritage Initiative to restore each of the six buildings of MSU's Laboratory Row and create an array of connecting gardens between the buildings. This project is one of the highest bricks-and-mortar priorities of The Campaign for MSU, the five-year, $1.2 billion fund-raising effort that builds upon the accomplishments of our history and gives shape to our priorities for the new century. The picturesque buildings that have stood along the east edge of West Circle Drive are well known to graduates and friends. They include, from north to south: Eustace-Cole Hall, Marshall-Adams Hall, Old Botany, Chittenden Hall, Cook Hall, and Agriculture Hall. These red brick buildings date from 1888 to 1909 and stand as enduring symbols of our land-grant vision and our commitment to advancing knowledge and transforming lives, the theme of The Campaign for MSU. Our Campus Heritage Initiative to restore these structures has more than symbolic importance. It will enable us to provide several MSU units with enviable Central Campus facilities that, in terms of warmth and character, are unparalleled on campus. As President Peter McPherson recently stated, "When complete, the buildings will function as efficiently as new construction, but will do so in an envelope of tradition and historic character." Despite the growth of our campus, this small ensemble of our early buildings remains intact and in good structural condition - a simple testimony to our good stewardship and fiscal frugality that reaches from the first century of MSU's existence into the second. These buildings blend the past and present of the University by reminding us of our traditions of academic excellence and social purpose, while supporting current academic programs. There is a pivotal role that YOU can play in their revitalization. Eustace-Cole Hall is rededicated. Honors College appreciates its unique, central campus location - Developments:Spring2000 Randall and Mary Pittman commit $6 M to Economics in honor of Walter Adams for restoration of Marshall-Adams Hall - Developments:Fall2002
