My wife and I attended the Fall 2008 Centennial celebratiion and the campus,although still retaining the lovely Spanish architecture in the older buildings, was much improved with the addition of University Hall and the renovation of the ampitheater. Looking forward to the renovation of Panzer Gym. Great job by the MSU administration in retaining the old school beauty and charm and adding modern green building practices and IT amenities. The student center pool and fitness center is terrific as well.
