Ann Arbor Michigan Community: University of Michigan Receiveds $10 million gift to help $102 million Law School Expansion
There is always something happening at the University of Michigan – this news is no exception!
The law school has received a $10 million gift to aid in the $102 million expansion of that department.
The gift was from a suburban Detroit developer who was an alumnus of the University. In recognition of the gift, the university is naming one new building the Robert B. Aikens Commons after the donor. It will have two-stories and 16,000 square feet.
The project also includes a new four-story class building and is scheduled for completion in 2012. The development will include a new Law School Commons and expansion of instructional space at the historic Law Quadrangle for the first time since the school’s main classroom building opened in 1933.
The school and university as a whole are excited about the project as well as the extremely generous gift by Mr. Aikens, who is one of the country’s most prominant developers and has, in his portfolio of projects regional shopping centers, main-street lifestyle centers, community centers, commercial office buildings and resort communities.
The development of the buildings at the Law School will naturally take time but will be watched closely by all in Ann Arbor.
