The North Campus
4 schools, dorms,
recreation center, media union, commons (4 of 6
arch. types—no athletic
few honorific, no megastructure—but that's OK)

11,000 students, including both schools and dorms, thousands of faculty +
staff for a total population
of about 15,000 (largest satellite campus in USA?)

Almost 1/3 of UM Ann
Arbor students, 1/4 of
dorm rooms

No town, no residential,
no neighborhood, no retail

commerce within walking distance, a commuter
campus for most

1952 The Vision
Here is the proposed North Campus as it appeared on
the drawing boards 41
years ago.
