New $39M University of Michigan transportation center nearing completion
ANN ARBOR, MI – The University of Michigan’s new $39-million facility to maintain its transportation fleet is nearing completion.
Construction of the facility started last winter, and is on track to be completed in time for a fall opening, according to UM spokeswoman Kim Broekhuizen.
