Facilities and Resources
Siceluff Hall
Siceluff Hall is the English Department’s home. The university completely renovated the hall in 2009, and it now features state-of-the-art infrastructure and technology. Siceluff Hall was built in the 1920’s and was the third building constructed on the Missouri State University campus. The renovation maintained the building’s historic character while upgrading its technological offerings. All of this makes Siceluff Hall one of the university’s loveliest, most comfortable buildings.
In addition, Siceluff Hall is centrally located on campus and adjacent to MSU’s largest student computer lab, which is located in Cheek Hall, as well as the Plaster Student Union.

Meyer, Meyer Library has been the main campus library since 1980, and it underwent an expansion and major renovations in 2002 providing students with access to more media labs, a computer lab, and a variety of classrooms.
