MSU 3- Month Look Ahead – April
Spring is here and activity has greatly picked up here in the Planning, Design & Construction office as we work toward summer and fall projects for our campus. Many projects end up with short planning periods in an effort to get them out for bidding. This allows contractors time to actually do the construction.

As always, Missouri State University appreciates the work the construction community does for us. At Pummill Hall, we recently installed a plaque to thank everyone by name who had a part in that renovation project. We welcome all those who worked on the project to stop by Pummill to see the plaque (pictured below). It is located on the first floor near the south entry.
