Question about campus land and Chadwick lake

[dwr4msu]

I was looking at this map on the school site. I'm assuming the green is campus land. Does the campus not own the land just to the right of Chadwick lake (which is in white)? Seems like a strange stretch of land for the university to not have. Speaking of Chadwick lake, I've always wondered where the source water comes from. Anyone know?

That's the research park, isn't it?

Research park is to the north in that circle road.

ETA: there are houses in that area in white but a lot of it is open land. Have always said it would be awesome to own that ground and to build a nice neighborhood there. You could sell the lots for a mint.

Not sure how far down the road they are, but in the area you're asking about, there are 2 or 3 houses set back off the road on the hill. I believe one has a sign at the drive that says Van Landingham (or at least used to.) Maybe they own the land?

Just by

looking at the map, I would assume that's private land.

The area to the East of "Perry Street" is not university land. I'm pretty sure there is a fence that runs along that road in the woods a bit. There's a neighborhood back in there, I believe. The entrance is off of Lee Blvd across from Chadwick Apartments and behind the Baptist Student Union.

Also, of interest, there are private condos over in Research Park now for sale. I would have assumed that was University land as well, but I guess not.

Research Park

is delineated in green.

University school

The portion of the white land that borders 182, north east of the lake, is the land slotted for the University Middle School for 6th and 7th graders that MSU was going to run. I think it might still be in the works but I was under the impression that the university school idea failed.

There is a sliver of privately owned on the West side of the research park between Research Park Circle and Highway 82. That land is where they built those condo's. At least that's what I was told.

Back when I was in college, there was an old abandoned cottage back in those woods on Perry Street. I'm not sure if it's still there or not but the remainder of that property is a neighborhood.

Too bad that fell through

Sounds like it would have been a big help for the local schools to have that kind of partnership with MSU. Thanks for the link to the story.

Didn't the Van Landinghams live there?

There's a neighborhood back in there, I believe. The entrance is off of Lee Blvd across from Chadwick Apartments and behind the Baptist Student Union.

The neighborhood behind the Baptist Student Center is University Estates. The neighborhood west of Lee Blvd in the white area shown I think is Harned Hills.

It hasn't fallen through... Still in planning phase and securing funds
