New and improved: NMU's Meyland Hall

Date Posted: July 21 2006

MARQUETTE - Upgraded housing for students at Northern Michigan University is in the works.

This summer, much of the renovation work is focusing on 40-year-od Meyland Hall, a 58,000-square-foot student dormitory. Gundlach-Champion is overseeing the $8 million project, along with mechanical contractor Berger and King and S & T Electrical. Work is expected to be complete in early August.

According to the NMU Engineering and Planning Department, the Meyland Hall renovations will be a continuation of the Quad II complex renovation that includes Magers Hall (completed in 2005), Meyland Hall, Van Antrwerp, and Hunt Hall.

All existing resident rooms, bathroom facilities and lounges will have upgraded finishes. The entire plumbing, mechanical and electrical systems will be replaced. A building addition will be constructed to incorporate an elevator for access to all floor including the Quad II basement. The exterior will have a facelift with a new pitched roof, pre-cast concrete panels and windows. Three story additions with upper level sunrooms will be constructed at the three main entrances.
