The time capsule is scheduled to be opened in 2042. A plan will need to be designed to follow through on this. As of right now, there is not a plan for the current Spartan Village Community Center.
Construction hours will be Monday through Friday between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m., with the understanding that there may be occasions when the contractor will need to perform work on weekends.
MSU is committed to providing affordable housing to its students in close proximity to campus. The family housing buildings were designed to meet what has historically been the level of demand among this group of students. Buildings with fewer floors would not allow the University to accommodate the anticipated demand. Removing the fourth floor of each building, for example, would take away a total of 33 units.
The closure will be in phases, and some buildings will come off line before 2017, especially those that come up for costly scheduled maintenance and repairs. As the buildings continue to come up for scheduled maintenance and repairs, we will make building by building decisions. These decisions will be based on assessments of each building.
We are committed to providing transparent and timely information regarding State Police Post Redevelopment plans to all stakeholders, especially to residents. We are committed to ensuring residents have adequate time to make necessary arrangements. We will not fully close Spartan Village Apartments until Phase 1 and 2 of the project are complete and operating.
