MSU Announces Major “Packaging 2.0” Expansion

A long-time member of IAPRI, MSU has contributed to the advancement of packaging education and research for many years. The new expansion reflects the continued evolution of the field and MSU’s enduring leadership in packaging science.

Packaging 2.0 was made possible by a transformative $47 million gift from School of Packaging alumnus Chuck Frasier ('70) and his wife, Jackie—the largest gift in the history of the MSU School of Packaging.

Designed to serve the future needs of students, faculty, and industry partners, the project will include flexible, technology-enabled classrooms, shared laboratory spaces that encourage interdisciplinary collaboration, and additional laboratory and administrative space to support expanded research and innovation.

This investment marks an important new chapter for the MSU School of Packaging and further strengthens its role as a global leader in packaging education and research.
