Alice Lloyd Hall, home to about 560 University of Michigan students, is about to undergo a "deep renovation" to the tune of $56 million.

The 176,000-square-foot building, built in 1949, will get an update of plumbing, heating, cooking, ventilation, fire detection and suppression systems, bath facilities, and accessibility. Among the improvements will be high-speed wired and wireless Internet access.

Helping to free up space in the residence hall for academic studies, dance and music practice rooms, and common areas was the reuse of what had been a dining area, now obsolete with the construction of the Hill Dining Center.

"New and reorganized spaces within the facility will revitalize the old residence hall and create much needed spaces," says a university document.

Funding for the project will be provided from housing resources. Architectural firm Integrated Design Solutions will design the project. Design is scheduled to begin immediately.
