University of Michigan Detroit Center
The University of Michigan Detroit Center (UMDC, U-M Detroit Center or Detroit Center) is a community outreach center, meeting/events facility, and academic home base for University of Michigan units, located in Midtown Detroit.
The facility serves as a home base to more than 50 university staff and faculty members from the campuses of the University of Michigan and University of Michigan–Dearborn.
To meet the increasing needs of office space and a facility to host meetings and events in the City of Detroit, the University of Michigan opened the U-M Detroit Center on September 21, 2005. As a home base to University of Michigan faculty, staff and students, the 26,122-square-foot (2,426.8 m2) facility occupies the ground floor of Orchestra Place on Woodward Avenue, located next to Detroit Symphony Orchestra. The renovated space was laid out and designed by University of Michigan alumnus Bill Grindatti under the guidance of former Taubman College Dean Douglas Kelbaugh. Taubman graduate Mashawnta Armstrong designed the street banners, while Art & Design students Nolan Loh and Mai Truong created the window signage.
In 2017, the Orchestra Place Building (3663 Woodward), which houses the Detroit Center, was sold to Broder & Sachse. A new lease agreement between Broder & Sachse and the University of Michigan included the Detroit Center moving to the opposite end of the building on the ground floor.
In 2021, it was announced that the Detroit Center would move to the Rackham building in Midtown Detroit following the completion of a $40 million renovation.
The University of Michigan Detroit Center serves as a home-base to 17 academic units from the University of Michigan and University of Michigan-Dearborn campuses. Academic units located at the Detroit Center are active participants in Detroit-based research projects and/or facilitate events geared towards the Detroit and great Detroit communities.
The University of Michigan works with a wide variety of Detroit organizations to carry out its various projects, many of which utilize the services and resources of the Detroit Center. As a result, the Detroit Center helps facilitate a symbiotic relationship between the university and local partners to carry out research and community services.
The U-M Detroit Center has developed programming initiatives, which take advantage of University and community resources. Ongoing programming initiatives include:
