The collaborative effort between MSU’s Residential and Hospitality Services, College of Engineering, College of Communication Arts and Sciences, and the Broad College of Business serves as a student-based incubator to inspire entrepreneurial passions. The demolition of existing interior walls paved the way for new mechanical and electrical systems, including fire protection for the center section of the building, audio/visual technology, drainage piping in the existing kitchen, and architectural lighting design. Energy conservation measures were demonstrated with the use of dense and highly flexible power distribution, dynamic and energy-efficient LED light fixtures, and a cost-effective variable air volume air handling unit with demand control ventilation that conserves energy when spaces are not occupied. ## Blog Latest industry insights from the best [Visit our Blog →](https://blog.peterbassoassociates.com/blog) ## Related Projects ![Hillsdale College John and Dede Howard Music Hall Renovation](https://www.peterbassoassociates.com/hubfs/Next%20Gen%20Images%20-%20WebP%20Files/Markets/Higher%20Education/Hillsdale-College-John-and-Dede-Howard-Music-Hall-Renovation-2_533x324.webp) #### Hillsdale College The John and Dede Howard Music Building on the campus of Hillsdale College boasts a large rehearsal hall for orchestra and choir and a smaller, intimate recital hall [Learn More →](https://www.peterbassoassociates.com/engineering-design-for-hillsdale-college) ![Ferris-State-University-University-Center-Exterior-Dusk-2-533x324](https://www.peterbassoassociates.com/hubfs/Images%202020/market-project-pages/markets-higher-education/5%20Ferris%20State%20University%20University%20Center%20Renovations/Ferris-State-University-University-Center-Exterior-Dusk-2-533x324.png) #### Ferris State University Ferris State University envisioned a transformation of its existing student center into an iconic architectural showpiece that would serve as a gathering space for students [Learn More →](https://www.peterbassoassociates.com/ferris-state-university-mechanical-electrical-plumbing-engineering-design) ![Lake Superior State University South Hall Renovation](https://www.peterbassoassociates.com/hubfs/Next%20Gen%20Images%20-%20WebP%20Files/Markets/Higher%20Education/LSSU-South-Hall-Renovation-Exterior_533x324.webp) #### Lake Superior State University South Hall was a century-old building that dates back to the days when LSSU’s campus was Fort Brady and was built to house infantry soldiers.
