University Buildings Files
The core series, University Buildings Files, is divided into five subseries: Background Material, Ann Arbor Campus, Dearborn Campus, Flint Campus, and Other Locations. Each subseries is arranged alphabetically by name of building or construction project. Folders contain a variety of materials including minutes, correspondence with architectural firms and subcontractors, reports, photographs, cost analyses, and other planning documents. The extent of documentation on a given project varies widely from one building project to another. The records also include material on proposed projects, or parts of projects, that were never realized. These include the Hill Auditorium renovation (pre-2000), Science Building 1, and parts of the Fifty-five Million Dollar Project. For building projects that were completed, there is also information on alternative proposals that were not implemented.
Background Material
The Background Material subseries consists of data sheets about university building projects from the late 1950s to the 1970s. Information on each of the projects include costs, space, names of architects and contractors, and construction period.
Ann Arbor Campus
The largest subseries, Ann Arbor Campus, is divided into seven subsections. Buildings associated with a particular college or school are found under the college or school to which they belonged (i.e., Francois Xavier Bagnoud under Engineering). Medical School buildings are included under the Medical Center subsection rather than within the colleges and schools. Non-medical research facilities such as the Institute for Social Research, are found under the subsection Research Facilities and Institutes. The General Subsection contains information on buildings such as the Administration Building (Fleming), Computing Center, Hill Auditorium, Michigan Union, and recreational and service buildings. The Ann Arbor subseries is organized as follows:
- Colleges and Schools (Boxes 1-7)
- Housing (Box 7)
- Libraries and Archives (Boxes 7-8)
- Medical Center (Boxes 8-15)
- Development and Planning
- Hospitals and Clinics
