The
U.S. Dept of Transportation has awarded the Ann Arbor Transportation
Authority $2.3 million as part of the $34.6 million Michigan received
in federal transportation fund last week. The money ($700,000) is
primarily geared toward rebuilding U-M’s Central Campus Transit Center and improving AATA’s bus storage facilities.

Earlier
this year, U-M decided to redevelop its transit center along North
University Street by the university’s Chemistry building. The new
bigger and better transit center will have more space for bus loading,
storage and be more accessible and user friendly to the primarily
student patrons. It will service both U-M and AATA buses.

“It’s a key transfer location,” says Mary Stasiak, a spokeswoman for AATA.

The $4.5 million project was designed by the U-M Dept of
Architecture and Hubbell, Roth & Clark. Construction will begin
shortly and finish by this fall.

Another $1 million will go
toward improving AATA’s bus storage facilities. More money ($220,000)
will help improve bus stops and pedestrian safety around them. Some of
the money will also be used to help maintain service to the Ypsilanti.

“We’re
really in the finishing mode,” says Sue Gott, planner for the
University of Michigan. “All of the interior walls and structures are
in place.”

Construction workers are also putting together the
courtyard as a way of completing the exterior of the building. Work is
expected to wrap up in May so the university’s housing division can
begin installing things like furniture in time for student move-in this
fall.

The University of Michigan began construction on North Quad in 2007 by demolishing the old Frieze Building,
which was originally built as Ann Arbor High School in 1907 (corner of
State and Huron streets in downtown). The University of Michigan bought
the building in the 1950s for use as space for college classes.

North
Quad is U-M’s first new dorm in 40 years. The complex features an
academic tower facing Washington and State streets, which will house
U-M’s Department of Screen Arts and Cultures, the Department of Communication Studies, the Language Resource Center and the Sweetland Writing Center (all components of the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts) along with the School of Information.

The
residence hall will face East Huron Street and offer two
configurations. The first includes suites containing two double rooms,
a living room and a bathroom. The second features arrangements of four
single rooms sharing a bathroom. Each residence hall floor houses
lounges. The building also will offer a community learning center with
additional small group study areas.

The
Ypsilanti-based developers bought the structure at 128-130 W Michigan
Ave. in 2007. Then it was a vacant foreclosure with a lot of problems,
ranging from a leaky roof to condemned apartments.

“There were
a few challenges,” says Eric Maurer, who co-owns and develops a number
of rental properties in Ypsilanti with his wife Karen.

They
rehabbed the 2-story building into six lofts and some ground floor
retail space that filled up relatively quickly. However, the rusted and
weather-worn steel paneling and other façade improvements of yore
remained unaddressed, until this year.

The Maurers plan to spend
$123,500 to repair the brick façade of the early 20th Century building
and add some fresh paint. They also plan to replacing the windows with Low-E glass. The end result should be a refreshed Art Deco look that will look completely different.

“I really want to make it a show stopper,” Maurer says. “It’s a pretty important corner to downtown.”

The
Maurers are applying for matching façade-improvement funds from state
of Michigan. Construction is expected to begin this spring or summer
and wrap up before next winter sets in.
