Making North Campus a Destination
On Thursday, March 19th, the U‑M Board of Regents approved a design for the $6.9 million Eda U. Gerstacker Grove project on North Campus.
The Grove will include:
- New walkways and a large, paved plaza next to the Ann and Robert H. Lurie Tower
- Elevated landforms around the plaza that create a natural amphitheater
- Energy efficient lighting
- More than 180 additional trees in a rolling landscape, with rain gardens that capture storm water runoff
- A sand volleyball court
- Improved wireless and electrical capabilities
- Spaces for tents where events could be held
Construction for the project will begin this summer. Read more: http://myumi.ch/LRbmL
