Laboratory Row is a collection of buildings at Michigan State University's campus in East Lansing. Built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries it comprises the oldest collection of buildings on campus. The site originally was dedicated to the school's first farming facilities, but as the college a outgrew its first buildings additional academic space was needed. In all, seven buildings were built, of which six survive today.
