University of Michigan Building Continues
Recently, plans for two new building projects were approved by the U of M Board of Regents
The Board of Regents recently approved two new building projects at the University of Michigan - a $102 million expansion of the Law School and a $51 million data facility for the University hospitals and health centers. Next on the wish list are a $175 million biology building, a $133 million renovation of the GC Brown Laboratory Building and a $122 million health sciences building.
The law school expansion is the third historical and major expansion to the law quadrangle, but the first to actually add much needed classroom space. Plans include a 100,000 sqft building just south of the law school and a 16,000 student commons on the south side of the Law Quad.
The new 47,000 sqft data center is slated to be built on North Campus with a unique wind/tornado resistant design. Officers have high hopes that the new building will meet future hospital needs.
A newly born university study will keep close tabs on building and proposed projects. The project aims to make project decision making for central administrators easier and more effective. Administrators hope to find ways to tap synergies between projects and save money in the long run. One thing is clear - the cranes are here to stay!
