Paolucci Building Historical Bricks

In December, 2007, the Paolucci Building was razed in preparation for the construction of the new Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum. As part of the reclamation project, some historic artifacts were salvaged, including a limited number of the original bricks. Proceeds from the brick sale will fund the purchase of a commemorative piece, placed at the site of the new Museum. You may also donate your brick directly to the MSU Laboratory Pre-School Paolucci Tribute.

Built in 1947, the Paolucci Building was originally the Home Management House, a laboratory designed for undergraduate students to practice the scientific application of home and family resource management principles. In 1989 the building was renamed for Dr. Beatrice Paolucci. Dr. Paolucci (1921-1983) was a distinguished faculty member at Michigan State University and an international leader in family studies, home economics and human ecology. Her writing and teaching focused on the role of the family in the larger environment and were instrumental in expanding the use of an ecosystem perspective to analyze the effect of individual decisions.

On The Move

There is an exciting change coming for the the MSU Surplus Store. In January, the Board of Trustees approved the building on a new Surplus and Recycling facility near the corner of Farm Lane and Service Road. The building will include a 10,000 square foot sales floor, a covered exterior sales area, increased parking, and several health and safety enhancements. It will also include an indoor waiting area for the morning lineup of customers, which means no more waiting in the rain, snow and cold. The building is expected to be completed in 2009. Watch here for more information as it comes available.
