Going Green at NMU

Northern Michigan University is anticipating LEED Silver Certification for Hunt Hall Renovations. 



Cohodas Lobby Renovation

The Cohodas lobby will soon be receiving a much needed facelift.  The project will be going out to bid before the holidays, with bids due after the new year. New light fixtures along with a new tiered ceiling that replicates what is in the Heritage Center will be installed.  The finishes will be updated to include new carpet, drywall, paint and trim.  The lobby entrance doors will be replaced with the project.

Campus of the Future

arial of plan

NMU's current campus master plan was developed and adopted by the Board of Trustees in the early 1990s to help guide campus development over the last decade. As demands on the university have evolved throughout the years, a formal review of the plan to develop an updated guide for the next 10 to 15 years was warranted. Progress on the update has been ongoing.


Improved Security

Housing and Residence Life is in the process of increasing the security
within all residence halls and Woodland Park Apartments.  A closed circuit television/camera system has been installed in all of the residence halls along with a card access system at all perimeter doors.  The door access system will record who has entered when a card is swiped along with notifying staff when a door has been forced or propped open.  The closed circuit system is installed and operating while the door  access system is planned to be turned on live beginning in January 2009.
