University of Michigan to reveal plans for massive housing, dining complex

The reshaping of the University of Michigan's Ann Arbor campus housing — including design plans for a massive new housing and dining complex — will be the focus of the Board of Regents meeting on Feb. 16, the school said Tuesday.

Architects will share design plans for a previously approved, 2,300-bed housing and dining complex to be built on the current Elbel Field. The last new residence hall built on campus, North Quad, was built in 2010 and has 450 beds. It was the first new undergraduate residence hall in 40 years.

Adding more Central Campus housing beyond that is also underway and officials are expected to brief the board on what's being done.

Included in those plans are relocating the Michigan Marching Band practice field from Elbel to the site of the former Fingerle Lumber property just off the main campus. U-M bought that property in 2018 when Fingerle closed.
