Wolverine Tower to undergo $6.3 million renovation

Wednesday, December 2, 2009 | Source: Concentrate
One of the University of Michigan's biggest renovation projects isn’t even taking place on any of its campuses. The university's Board of Regents approved a large renovation and consolidation project at the Wolverine Tower on Ann Arbor's south side.

The $6.3 million project will breathe some new life into 61,000 square feet on seven of the building's 11 stories. The development will allow the university to consolidate a lot of its staff, spread throughout the building. The MHealthy office will also be moved into the renovated space upon completion of the project.

The idea is to concentrate all of the employees in one part of the building, allowing them to share more common areas, such as training rooms, kitchens and conference rooms. This will save the university on overhead costs. The project will also add a lunchroom, wellness area and showers.

The renovation is expected to proceed in phases and be finished by the fall of 2011.

The 220,000-square-foot building was built in 1973. The University of Michigan purchased it in 1992.
