University of Michigan- Wolverine Village Phase 1

Ann Arbor, Michigan
Client: American Campus Communities, University of Michigan

Project Description

  • The University of Michigan engaged American Campus Communities (ACC) in a public-private partnership to lead the development of a new residential community that will dramatically reshape campus housing.
  • Working with RAMSA as design architect and architect of record, and Elkus Manfredi Architects as interior architect, the ACC team created a new residential community with five residence halls totaling approximately 2,300 student beds and a 900-seat dining facility.
  • The ground floors of all five buildings are dedicated to amenity and student support programs, including a communal kitchen, a laundry room, and a signature lounge designed to offer different ways for each student to take part in the community at their own comfort level.
  • The Wolverine Village project is the first step of a two‑phase development that will shape the next generation of student life at the University of Michigan and set the bar nationally for best‑in‑class student housing.
