Harden Hall

The Elizabeth and Edgar Harden Hall is located off the academic mall. The second and third floors will contain the Lydia Olson Library again before the Winter semester, which is temporarily being housed in Gries Hall. The second floor will also house the Central Upper Peninsula and NMU Archives. The 4th floor, currently under construction, will house some academic departments, as well as the Beaumier U.P. Heritage Center. The lower levels house Audio-Visual Services, Public Radio 90, and WNMU-TV 13, where students produce the Public Eye News program and have other opportunities to gain direct studio production experience. The Innovation Institute at NMU, SISU, are currently on the 1st floor, too. 

The first level is also home to the computer Help Desk and Micro Repair, Technology Support Services. Traditional and distance-learning classrooms are complemented by a spacious concourse suitable for between-class and late-night studying along with Fieras, a restaurant open during the academic year that features house-made Latin foods. In addition, Sundre is located on the first level and features products that are non-GMO, organic, fair-trade, gluten-free, kosher, vegan, and vegetarian. Locally roasted coffee is brewed daily. 

An underground tunnel connects Harden Hall with The Science Building.
