Michigan State Hosts Open House for New Student Recreation and Wellness Center
One of Michigan State University’s most significant new campus spaces is ready for its debut, and students will get a first peek.
On April 15, MSU hosted a student-focused open house for the new Student Recreation and Wellness Center, inviting Spartans to explore the facility.
The open house comes ahead of the center’s grand opening scheduled for the fall. While the center will soon be open to MSU employees who pay for membership, the open house event is intentionally focused on students, who helped pay for the project through their recreation fees. Faculty and staff are invited to help by encouraging students to attend and learn more about the multitude of amenities and opportunities inside.
