Michigan State University Housing

The university expanded its housing greatly in the 1950s and 1960s, resulting in what is now the largest residence hall system in the United States.

[4] This was built as one of the nine Public Works Administration (PWA) building projects on campus in that era.

[4] Reflecting that fact, each of the West Circle halls is named for a woman who made significant contributions to Michigan State.

[6] North Neighborhood is composed of residence halls from both West Circle and Red Cedar: The West Circle neighborhood is made up of six buildings: The Red Cedar Complex is close to the geographic center of campus.

[11] It is named after Mary Mayo, a school teacher and wife of a Civil War veteran who was also an active member of the Grange.

[11] Mayo Hall reopened in the fall of 2009 after a 15-month renovation which included upgrades to the plumbing and electrical systems, new furniture, and many cosmetic changes on its interior.

The East College is made up of: Case, Wonders, Holden and Wilson halls are located in the midst of the athletic venues situated across from the intramural fields and near Spartan Stadium, IM Sports West, Munn Ice Arena, the Smith Center, and the Breslin Student Events Center.

[18] All of the buildings in South complex contain classrooms, and Case Hall is the home of James Madison College.

[19] Brody Neighborhood is a group of six student housing buildings as well as the University Village apartments located at the far northwestern corner of the campus just north of the Red Cedar River and bordered by Grand River Avenue and Harrison Road.

[20] The newly constructed Brody Square appears to be a key factor in students' living arrangement plans for the coming school year.

[26] Michigan State owns and operates two apartment complexes, Spartan Village and Cherry Lane.

Instead, an open field with grass and trees lies in its place to the west of Holden Hall.
