MSU Approves $9.4 Million, Fast-Tracked Update to Holden Hall

The Michigan State University (MSU) Board of Trustees recently approved $9.4 million for the renovation of Holden Hall.

The bulk of the renovations will be completed this summer and will include upgrading classrooms, centralizing common spaces and updating some of the rooms.

MSU typically completes resident hall renovations in pieces, partially renovating multiple halls during an entire summer. This year, the school is trying something different by attempting to get all of the Holden Hall renovations completed by the end of the summer.

“We’re experimenting with Holden Hall,” says Fred Poston, vice president for finance and operations.

Poston says the new Holden Hall design encourages student interaction.
