The final design includes a fountain, benches, and plants in the old horticultural garden near the student services building.

Verner family lawyer David Femminineo said MSU president Kevin M. Guskiewicz worked closely with the victims’ families in choosing the design and location of the memorial.

MSU officials said the $3.2 project will be partially funded with $300,000 from the Spartan Strong fund. The remaining funds will come from capital reserves.
