The
architecture of the Robert H. Lurie Engineering Center creates a
focal landmark for the College of Engineering as it fosters connections
between LEC, new outdoor spaces, and pre-existing buildings. The
60,000 square foot development is segmented for its primary functions.
Administrative and student service groupings are on the ground and
first floors, the Dean's Suite and accompanying offices on the second
floor, and a faculty lounge and several meeting/dining rooms on
the third floor.

The
Ann and Robert H. Lurie Tower, located on North Campus at the University
of Michigan in Ann Arbor and housing a grand carillon -- one of
only 23 in the world, but one of two on the Michigan campus -- was
built in 1996 as a memorial for Michigan alumnus Robert H. Lurie.

The
Lay Automotive Lab has supported education and research since the
early 1900s. Today, the Lab's research interests are wide-ranging
but generally associated with: engine combustion, emissions control,
friction, fuel efficiency, vehicular hybrid propulsion and electronics
design, and vehicle aerodynamics.

North
Campus gained some desperately needed classroom and office space
with the opening of Engineering Building I, later renamed the Electrical
Engineering and Computer Science Building, and colloquially known
as "EECS." Its central atrium soon became a popular student
gathering place and site for official receptions. Equipped with
state of the art labs and computer facilities, EECS set the stage
for Engineering's move to North Campus.

University
of Michigan
The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor (U of
M, U-M, UM or simply Michigan) is a coeducational public research
university in the state of Michigan. The university was founded
in 1817 in Detroit, about 20 years before the territory of
Michigan officially became a state, and moved to Ann Arbor
in 1837. Today, it is the state's oldest university and the
flagship campus; there are two satellite campuses —
the University of Michigan-Flint and the University of Michigan-Dearborn.
The university is internationally renowned for its academics.
In its last published survey in 1995, the National Research
Council ranked UM third in the United States in a study that
aggregated evaluations of 41 graduate disciplines and is considered
as one of the original eight Public Ivys.
