UM Hospital Expansion Approved
A $6 million expansion of the University Hospital medical procedure unit (MPU) was approved by the University of Michigan board of regents at their March 17, 2011 meeting. The project will create additional prep/recovery bays, procedure rooms, and storage space, and expand the patient and family reception and waiting room. The work entails renovating 2,200 square feet of existing space, and expanding the current MPU location by roughly 4,000 square feet. The project will be designed by Niagara Murano, an architectural firm, with construction scheduled to be completed in the spring of 2012.
