Michigan School for the Blind restoration project on pace to finish in 2020

LANSING — Historic buildings on the 40-acre campus where the Michigan School for the Blind operated for 114 years are on pace to be restored and reopened as housing by early 2020.
Indianapolis-based TWG Development has moved on to the second and third phases of its $24.4 million plan to create 132 housing units at West Willow and North Pine streets in the city's Walnut Neighborhood.
Crews are focused on the former school's administration building, known as The Abigail or "Old Main," and its adjacent former high school, said Adam Kniola, TWG's project manager.

Plans for a renovated administration building call for 42 units of senior housing — 22 two-bedroom units and 20 one-bedroom units — and 62 parking spots.
There will also be community and amenity space.
The former high school will contain 18 units of senior housing: nine one-bedroom units and nine two-bedroom units. It will have 25 parking spots.
Restoration work on both buildings, including limestone cleaning and window installation, is expected to be complete by June, Kniola said.
