A claw goes through the roof of a building that housed the Law
School's offices of development and alumni relations, and special
events and communications. The property at the northeast corner
of Hill and State streets will be the site of a new building for
the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy. The 80,000-square-foot
Joan and Sanford Weill Hallnamed for President Ford's longtime friends,
who gave $5 million to support construction of the buildingis
scheduled to be completed in August 2006. Another $2.5 million
came from the Annenberg Foundation. Renderings for the new building,
designed by Robert A.M. Stern Architects, were approved by the
Board of Regents in June. (Photo by Marcia Ledford, U-M Photo Services) |
