University Village was one of the best places to live here on MSU’s campus until the 1855 Place construction project begun. Although we’re sure that MSU has good intentions with the project and its ability to add value and significance to our campus, MSU has failed to realize the inconvenience and frustration this project has placed on University Village’s current residents.

Due to the 1855 Place construction project, parking has become difficult and inconvenient for residents and their guests, commuting to and from classes has become extremely difficult due to road and sidewalk restrictions and the complex is now riddled with constant noise and terrible odors throughout the day from construction equipment.

We the residents of University believe that our rights are being infringed. Rights stated in the On-Campus Housing Handbook, sections 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3.

Due to all these issues, we kindly ask that we receive some sort of reimbursement in the means of a reduction of rent for the duration of the construction project, grant residents with a partial parking pass refund and/or the option to opt out of our housing contracts because we were not aware of the 1855 Place project construction before we signed.
