Construction scheduled to have been completed today on The Diagnostic Center for Population and Animal Health has been delayed.

The center, located at the southwest corner of Beaumont and Forest roads, is now undergoing finishing touches by the Lansing-based Granger Construction Co.

Ownership will be transferred from the state of Michigan to MSU after completion, which should be sometime before the start of the fall semester.

"It has been an incredible construction cycle and Granger has done an excellent job in developing a great project," said Ann Beaujean, director of state relations in MSU's Office of the Vice President for Governmental Affairs. "(It's) a huge effort by everyone involved."
