Magic Hour Over McCarthy

Magic Hour Over McCarthy

Golden light cascades over McCarthy Quad Monday [Nov 10] before dusk, a time also known as the magic hour. The quadrangle, one of MSU's newest additions to campus, connects students, faculty, staff and visitors to the Jim and Thomas Duff Center, the J. Charles Lee  Agricultural and Biological Engineering Building and Allen Hall. McCarthy Quad carries the name of former MSU men’s basketball coach James H. “Babe” McCarthy, and the green space covers the area where McCarthy Gymnasium once stood.
