Capital Outlay Project Request FY15 Table of Contents 1 Section I Mission Statement MISSION STATEMENT The mission of the University of Michigan is to serve the people of Michigan and the world through preeminence in creating, communicating, preserving and applying knowledge, art, and academic values, and in developing leaders and citizens who will challenge the present and enrich the future. VISION STATEMENT As the University of Michigan prepares to embark on its third century, we fully embrace the legacy bestowed upon us by President James B. Angell in our first century. We are proud to offer “an uncommon education for the common man.” We are a community of learners. We serve our multiple constituents by providing access to and participation in scholarly and creative endeavors on a vast scale. Our academic research enterprise affects the world. The university is defined by a culture of interdisciplinary teaching and research, coupled with academic rigor. We encourage our students, faculty, and staff to transcend disciplinary boundaries by tackling complex and vexing problems facing modern societies at local, national, and global levels. We endorse and promote creativity in its many facets. We recognize the arts as a human essential and a foundation that helps to define our future. We create new knowledge and share the joy of discovery, and we see information technology as a powerful means for broadening access to knowledge and exchanging ideas. We draw from study and experience to prepare our students for leadership in a wide range of social endeavors, including government, law, education, medicine and business, reflecting the university’s many roles in contributing to good design and decision making within major domestic and international institutions. We celebrate and promote diversity in all its forms, seeking the understanding and perspective that distinct life experiences bring. We proclaim ourselves a scholarly community in which ideas may be freely expressed and challenged, and all people are welcomed, respected, and nurtured in their academic and social development. We are committed to providing for our students and faculty international learning and teaching experiences that will prepare them for a rapidly changing global community. The university encourages intellectual and cultural exchange in other countries, and programs that deeply engage scholars from disparate areas of the globe. We support and promote student, faculty, and staff immersion in local and national communities via service, learning, and leadership endeavors. We nurture lifelong relationships with alumni who span the globe. Section I Mission Statement 1 We advance health care through discovery and practice. We deliver clinical services to people within our state and the world, educate future generations of health care professionals, conduct basic research in fundamental processes of life, and vigorously advance research on the mechanisms, detection and treatment of a spectrum of human diseases. The university champions fitness, disease prevention, and policy research to advance health, quality of life, and longevity of our own community, the nation, and the globe. We stimulate economic growth and development in Michigan and beyond. The university engages in productive partnerships among academe, industry, and government to sustain and grow a vigorous and dynamic economy. University students, faculty, and staff embody and advance innovative attitudes and entrepreneurial spirit. We strive to be an exemplary employer and a positive influence in our community. We provide an environment where all employees have opportunities to develop their potential, and where there is a shared passion for excellence and a commitment to respect for one another. We dedicate ourselves to ethical and responsible stewardship of financial, physical and environmental resources. We look for tools and strategies to create and enhance sustainable practices in all facets of operations and seek to lead in the global quest for a sustainable future. We gladly accept the challenges and opportunities confronting us and understand that the University of Michigan must change, adapt and grow to meet the needs of a rapidly evolving society. We will always focus on the horizon. Section I Mission Statement 2 Section II Instructional Programming INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAMMING The University of Michigan, founded in 1817, has a history of nearly 200 years of leadership in education, innovative research, stewardship and service to the State of Michigan. The university consistently ranks in the top ten of public universities in the U.S. according to the U.S. News and World Report, and receives high marks for retention and graduation rates and for the reputation and excellence of many of the undergraduate, graduate, and professional degree programs offered by the university’s 19 schools and colleges. As a public institution, the university works hard at its mission through teaching, research, and service, set within the framework of various schools, colleges, institutes and centers and through strategic partnerships with public and private institutions in Michigan and beyond. The following information describes various programs that support the core mission of the university and activities that will impact facility needs in the next five years. A. Alfred Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning The University of Michigan offered its first courses in architecture in 1876. The program became a department in 1913, and by 1931, the College of Architecture was established as a separate entity. Today, the college offers bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees in various fields, including architecture, urban planning, and urban design. In 1999, the college was renamed in honor of A. Alfred Taubman, a longtime donor and adviser to the college. In Fall 2013, the Taubman College began a new bachelor’s program that directly admitted a freshman class for the first time. In response to the increase in enrollment and faculty growth and the needs for more modern instructional and studio facilities, the college has identified a need to update instructional space and create on-campus studios to replace off-campus leased space. It is anticipated that, should sufficient donor funding be identified, a small addition to the Art and Architecture Building and a modest renovation of the existing building will address the college’s needs. Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design Education in the arts was first offered as part of architecture and engineering studies at the university. As art evolved as a discipline, the programs were moved out of these colleges and that the School of Art & Design became an autonomous school in 1974. The school was renamed the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design in 2012 after receiving a significant donation from Penny and E. Roe Stamps. The school shares the Art and Architecture Building with the A. Alfred Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning, where it provides a comprehensive range of baccalaureate and graduate degree programs in art, design, and interarts performance. In 2011, in response to a pressing programmatic need for graduate student and faculty art studios and limited space within the Art and Architecture Building, the university renovated and repurposed an existing university warehouse building for this purpose. This renovation enabled the school to consolidate graduate student and faculty studios into one location and vacate off-campus leased space. The consolidation encourages Section II Instructional Programming 1 collaboration, increases operating efficiencies, and improves the school’s ability to attract prospective graduate students and faculty. Stephen M. Ross School of Business Building on faculty and course offerings that began in the latter part of the nineteenth century, the School of Business Administration was formally established in 1924. Today, at all levels of instruction — bachelor’s, master’s, doctoral, and executive education — its programs consistently rank high nationally and internationally. In 2004, Stephen M. Ross made a historic gift to the school, and it was renamed in his honor. The gift supported the construction of a new Ross School of Business academic building, which opened in 2009, and provides state-of- the-art instructional and research space to support the school’s core mission. Stephen M. Ross continued his generous support of the school with another historic gift in 2013. The gift, along with other gifts, will support an additional building project that will create innovative classroom, study, and student and career services spaces for the school and enable it to continue its long-standing history of excellence in business education. School of Dentistry Established in 1875, the School of Dentistry is one of two schools of dentistry in the State of Michigan, and the school is a nationally top-ranked program training professional dentists in oral and craniofacial research. It offers bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees, as well as certification and continuing education, in a variety of dental fields including dental hygiene, pediatric dentistry, orthodontics,

It was the key to distributing the Grande postcards on the street and in schools. Volunteers, mostly high-school-aged kids, would get a stack of cards to pass out, plus a free pass to the Grande for themselves. Russ Gibb, who ran the Grande Ballroom, says that this was the ticket, so to speak, to bring in the crowds. While posters in Detroit did not have the effect that posters in San Francisco had, and handbills were only somewhat better, the cards turned out to actually work best. These cards are quite rare.

  • 1.0 Purpose and Need of the Proposed Action
    1.0 Purpose and Need of the Proposed Action 1.1 Description of the Proposed Action The City of Ann Arbor, Michigan in partnership with the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) and the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) have proposed to construct an intermodal station within the City of Ann Arbor. This project would support the existing Amtrak intercity service between Detroit, Michigan and Chicago, Illinois, the planned Midwest High Speed Rail service between Detroit/Pontiac and Chicago and the future proposed regional commuter rail service (see Section 1.6, Relationship to other Transportation Planning Initiatives). This Environmental Assessment will include an evaluation of the existing station location along with other alternatives in Ann Arbor, and will assess their ability to support current and future Intercity Passenger rail service, in addition to local and regional transit, pedestrian and bicycle transportation. 1.2 Project Study Area Exhibit 1.1: Project Study Area Source: ESRI The project study area is located in the City of Ann Arbor, Michigan, along the rail line used by the Wolverine Intercity Passenger rail service, (see Exhibit 1.1) from where the City boundary on the northwest meets the rail line, southwest through the city to the city limits at the intersection of US Highway 23 and the rail line. The project study area for the proposed intermodal station is completely within the city limits of Ann Arbor as the City of Ann 1 Arbor will assume ownership of a new station. The existing station is located at 325 Depot Street, northwest of the central Ann Arbor downtown area, the University of Michigan (U-M) central campus and the U-M Medical Center.

During the presentation, and after, attendees had numerous comments and suggestions for the project team. This report summarizes the main areas that were commented upon during the meeting. Responses are in italics. Additional information about the project can be found here: www.a2gov.org/annarborstation. General Comments/Ratings • How will the rating systems be used in the next phase for the 3 recommended sites? The Project Team will evaluate each site using the required environmental criteria. Beginning with a conceptual design for each segment each criterion will be reviewed and an evaluation provided. • Will cost come into play in the next stage? Yes, to the extent that we can. A level of magnitude estimate will be developed. • What’s the definition of the area that you are considering for rail traffic for the existing station? The State of Michigan, working with the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), plans for a second main track. There is enough right-of-way to accommodate a second track and there was a second track previously. The Ann Arbor Station project will accommodate the second main with an additional platform and pedestrian bridge over the tracks.
