McDonel Hall
McDonel Hall is known by Spartans for its optimal housing for returning students and those wanting a more quiet, mature atmosphere. The hall houses the Residential Business Program living-learning community. It is also home to a Sparty’s Refresh.
Fun fact: McDonel Hall is named after Irma and Karl McDonel. Karl was secretary to the State Board of Agriculture, which is now the MSU Board of Trustees.
