Ground Breaking Ceremony Photos

Yesterday saw the start of construction for the new Surplus Store and Recycling Center. The event featured MSU Facility/Staff, Students, and community members all celebrating the start of the new facility. “The new MSU Surplus Store and Recycling Center will open doors to new and more efficient processing procedures, which in turn, will generate a greater return on our reusable and recyclable materials,” said Ruth Daoust, Manager of the Surplus and Recycling Center. The new facility will accommodate three times the amount of materials of the current recycling facility. A new comprehensive recycling program, coupled with the facility, will allow the university to expand recycling collection in 549 buildings on campus. “The recycling facility and surplus provide us a greater opportunity to re-use and recycle the enormous amount of materials we bring to this campus,” said Kathy Lindahl, assistant vice president for finance and operations.

New Building Ground Breaking

The MSU Surplus Store and Recycling Center will be having it's Groundbreaking ceremony on June 11th at 11 am. The event will be open to the public and includes comments by the MSU Administration, Board of Trustees and Surplus/Recycling Staff.

The new facility, located near the corner of Farm Lane and Service Road, 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 late summer 2009.

The MSU Surplus Store will be closed during the Groundbreaking, so come out to see the site of our new home.
