Campus environment of Michigan State University
The campus of Michigan State University is located near the Red Shirt River in East Lansing. The campus is built in a virgin forest in 1855. Initially, there were three buildings, namely, a multi-functional university building, a dormitory later named Qin Sheng Building and a farmhouse. These three school buildings no longer exist today. As an agricultural college, the campus was originally located in Lansing, but with the growth of students, it turned to the north of East Lansing.

Michigan State University has a huge scale, and besides many academic institutions, it has also formed urban settlements. Public places on campus include a football field, a multi-functional stage, an ice rink, a concert hall, a hotel and a golf course. The campus also has its own power generation facilities, garbage incineration facilities and national railway station.

Michigan State University has a total campus area of 5,200 mu, of which 2,000 mu has been developed. There are 556 buildings in the campus, including academic 100, agricultural 13 1, accommodation 166 and 42 sports facilities. Michigan State University has 2,037,464.3 square meters of indoor space. And there are 43 kilometers of roads and sidewalks 16 1 km. Michigan State University also owns a total of 44 off-campus real estate buildings and 22,000 acres of land in 28 different counties. In the round-trip transportation, Michigan State University provides regular CATA campus buses, which shuttle back and forth on campus for students, faculty and staff to arrange time and study knowledge calmly.

The red shirts' campuses on the Henan side were mainly built after World War II, and many of them are international and fauvism. Compared with the north campus, the south campus has fewer trees, straighter roads and more parking lots, partly because of sports and performing arts venues. The "Vision 2020" plan proposes to transform these parking lots into body parking lots and green spaces to be closer to the feeling of the North Campus, but these plans will take a long time. At the same time, as part of the long-term plan, the school reshaped a new bronze statue of Sparta in 2005. This replica replaced the original modernist ceramic statue, which was moved to the west hall of Sparta Stadium. Famous academic and research buildings in South Campus include particle cyclotron and law school. This part of the campus is also the garden of Michigan State University and the 4-H Children's Garden. To the south of the garden are the Canadian National Railway and CSX Railway.
