Self-Guided Walking Tour

MSU Union houses a variety of amenities, including Spartan Lanes, a food court, Spartan Spirit Shop and the famous MSU Dairy Store. Also located at the MSU Union are study lounges and computer centers for student use. Make sure you get a picture with Bronze Sparty, located on the first floor.

Olin Health Center is the main health center on campus. Students get three subsidized visits per academic year. Services offered include immunization, primary care, sports medicine and women’s health.

Broad Art Museum, otherwise known to students as the “spaceship,” was designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Zaha Hadid. There are no 90- degree angles in the building. Admission is free to the museum, which is also a secret study spot for many students on campus.

Student Services Building is a large hub for many student resources on campus, including Career Services, Student Life, Financial Aid, Counseling/Therapy services and the Associated Students of MSU, otherwise known as ASMSU.

Auditorium and Fairchild Theatre host many concerts, plays, musicals and student-led performances. Performances brought to campus include country singers, comedians and influential speakers. Discounted tickets are available to students.

The Rock is the campus billboard, changing every single day. It is an unwritten rule that whoever claims the rock that night earns the right to paint it. Spartan clubs and organizations, movements, and information about campus can be found painted on the Rock.

STANDING ON THE CORNER OF FARM LANE AND NORTH SHAW LANE YOU CAN SEE:

Business College Complex, which is home to the Broad College of Business, is comprised of many departments, including accounting, marketing, supply chain management and The School of Hospitality Business. There is also one of four Starbucks coffee shops on campus in this building.

Abrams Planetarium includes a 150-seat sky theater and an exhibit hall. The planetarium offers numerous shows and programming available to students and the public.

Center for the Sciences includes the Chemistry, Biomedical and Physical Sciences, Biochemistry, Cyclotron, and FRIB (Facility for Rare Isotope Beams) buildings. Home to the number one graduate program in nuclear physics, innovative research is occurring all the time between these buildings.

Anthony Hall and the College of Engineering is home to one of MSU’s largest lecture halls. There is also a branch of the MSU Dairy Store inside as well as the Animal Sciences Department. The College of Engineering is attached to Anthony Hall, and many engineering learning centers and computer labs are located inside.

Erickson Hall resides in the College of Education, which has been ranked number one by U.S. News & World Report for its rehabilitation and elementary and secondary education programs. College of Education houses numerous programs, including elementary, secondary and special education, as well as kinesiology, athletic training and more.

International Center houses the official Spartan Bookstore. Pick up some Spartan swag, and rep the Green and White all year long. Also inside this building you’ll find a food court and the Office for Education Abroad, where you can learn about study abroad opportunities. You can also see Wells Hall, which is home to the second largest lecture hall on campus.

Spartan Stadium holds 75,005 Spartan football fans any given Saturday in the fall. Ask any student, and Spartan Stadium will be one of their favorite places to go on campus!

IM Sports West is one of the three recreational centers on campus, offering indoor and outdoor pools, cardio equipment, fitness centers and group fitness classes. IM West is the largest rec facility with the largest weight room on campus.

Spartan Statue is 9 feet, 7 inches of bronze metal and is a replica of the original Spartan Statue that is now inside the tower of Spartan Stadium. “Sparty Watch” is a fun tradition of the Spartan Marching Band, which protects Sparty before MSU plays University of Michigan.

Beal Botanical Garden is the oldest university-operated botanical garden of its kind with more than 2,000 different plants. This is a great location on campus to take pictures during the fall, winter or spring!

MSU Main Library is the main library on campus. There are two sides: the east, which is dedicated to quite study, and the west, which is dedicated to group and social study. There is also a café inside to grab a snack. MSU’s library has the world’s largest and rarest public comic book collection in the world!

MSU Museum is the science and culture museum at MSU. Three floors and ample exhibit space highlight collections, MSU faculty and student work, and traveling exhibits.

Beaumont Tower is MSU’s iconic clock tower, housing a carillon — a musical instrument containing 49 bells. Looking to the top of the tower, one corner is taller than the others, reminding students to strive to be better every day and to grow as much as they can as a Spartan

The Rock

Brody Neighborhood (Orange): The most recently renovated neighborhood on campus. This neighborhood is modern and has many eco-friendly choices. Many first-year students choose to live in this neighborhood because the residents are very involved and participate in many Spartan traditions. Brody is community- style living.

East Neighborhood (Purple): This neighborhood is popular with many science majors because one of the residence halls, Holmes, is home to Lyman Briggs Residential College. One of the residence halls, Akers, is the only hall with quad-style living. The others are suite-style. Many residents of East Neighborhood are involved with research and love living near the Wharton Center for Performing Arts.

North Neighborhood (Pink): This neighborhood is the oldest on campus, and there is a lot of charm within the residence halls. Located near Grand River Avenue, it is close to many off-campus shopping and dining options and has the benefit of being near many of the academic buildings on campus. The Residential College in the Arts and Humanities, or RCAH, is located in Snyder/Phillips halls. North Neighborhood is community-style living.

River Trail Neighborhood (Blue): Located along the river, residents of River Trail have a fantastic view from their backyard. Students can choose to live in Shaw Hall, which is community-style living, or in McDonel, which is suite-style. Many upperclassmen live in this neighborhood because of the beautiful views and the central location on campus.

South Neighborhood (Green): Many students love having the view of Spartan Stadium from their bedroom when living in South. Many MSU athletes and engineering students live in South Neighborhood because of its proximity to academic and athletic facilities. South is home to James Madison Residential College, and all of the residence halls are suite-style living.
