To-do list for University of Michigan: |
edit · history · watch · refresh |
- Avoid excessive boosterism - try to maintain neutrality as much as possible
- Add a page for history of Merit Network? -> details in separate article
- Many institutions try to stake a claim to the foundation of the internet. UM's 1966 study must certainly rank backward in time, as does its work on the NSF backbone, UCAID (university corp. for Internet Dev.), as well as its role -- via Van Houewling's (sp?) on Internet2). It would seem that all of these events, and the history in the above link, might be worthy of elaboration [1]
- Articles needed for:
- School of Dentistry
- School of Pharmacy
- School of Nursing
- The Horace H. Rackham School of Graduate Studies
- The School of Natural Resources
- The School of Public Health
- The School of Social Work
- The School of Art and Design
- The School of Kinesiology

[edit] UM Medical Campus
I was a bit too hasty in removal the following passage (due to formatting problems and POV). Hence, I have placed the passage here to be cleaned up before it is inserted back into the article. Also, let's all try to keep this article featured (several others have actually used the UM article as a guide in improving their respective university articles to featured status).

- Immediately north of the Central Campus, across Huron St., lies the U-M medical campus, home to much of the activity of the University of Michigan Health System. Here, the Medical School's researchers and their trainees perform advanced laboratory and clinical research in such facilities as the Biomedical Science Research Building and the Medical Science Research Building complex. Also here, medical students prepare for their careers in the Medical Science I and II complex and the Taubman Medical Library. Meanwhile, patients receive advanced care from Medical School faculty and residents, and from U-M nurses and staff, at the facilities operated by the U-M Hospitals & Health Centers unit of the Health System. These include University Hospital, C.S. Mott Children's Hospital, the Women's Hospital Birth Center, the Comprehensive Cancer Center, the Cardiovascular Center, and the A. Alfred Taubman Health Care Center, home to numerous outpatient clinics.
- The Cardiovascular Center, scheduled to open in June 2007, stands on the former site of "Old Main" Hospital, designed by Albert Kahn. At its opening in 1925, it was the largest university hospital in America, a half a million gross square feet. It was used until 1986, when University Hospital opened.
- A replacement for the children's and women's hospitals is now being built on East Medical Center drive, on the former site of a parking lot. It will open in 2011.
- At the center of the medical campus is the Towsley Center, where thousands of physicians and other health care providers from around the region come each year for continuing medical education classes. The Med Inn building provides hotel-style accommodations for families of critically ill patients. The North Ingalls Building, formerly home to St. Joseph Mercy Hospital until its purchase by U-M in 1977, houses administrative offices.
- Many of the medical campus buildings are linked by indoor walkways, and a garden-filled courtyard lies at the heart of the square formed by Mott Hospital, University Hospital, the Med Inn and the Towsley Center. Several parking garages serve patients, faculty, staff and visitors; valet parking is also available at several locations. The landing pads for the Survival Flight air ambulances are built into the cliff side above the Huron River, and connected to the Emergency Department via an underground tunnel.
- Just across the Huron River from the medical campus is the Kellogg Eye Center, which is being expanded in a new building that will also house the Brehm Center for Type I Diabetes. Less than a mile east on Fuller Road is the VA Ann Arbor Health Care System, a full-service inpatient, outpatient and long-term care facility staffed by many physicians who hold positions on the U-M Medical School faculty.
- About four miles northeast of the main medical campus, an East Medical Campus has been built in recent years. It is home to three buildings: the East Ann Arbor Health and Geriatrics Center, home to outpatient primary care offices and the Turner Geriatrics Clinic; the Rachel Upjohn Building, home to the nation's only comprehensive Depression Center and most of the U-M's outpatient psychiatry care; and the Ambulatory Surgery and Medical Procedures Center, where outpatients can receive invasive and non-invasive diagnostic tests and minor surgical care. Across the road, U-M leases extensive space in the Domino's Farms complex for outpatient care offices in cardiology, plastic surgery, sports medicine and allergy, as well as space for research and administration.
- In addition to these facilities, the U-M Health System operates satellite health centers in several parts of Ann Arbor and in surrounding towns, including Brighton, Canton, Chelsea, Dexter, Howell, Livonia, Saline and Ypsilanti.
[edit] Question
That building by the law quad, was it modeled after King's College, Cambridge? __earth (Talk) 06:11, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
