NMC has had a new sidewalk installed on main campus that goes around the West Hall construction area, which will be fully fenced off after the September 24 groundbreaking ceremony. The temporary sidewalk starts directly between East and West halls and cuts across the grass to the long east-west sidewalk that connects the Health & Science Building to the Oleson Center.

Thursday, September 27, 7 p.m.
Milliken Auditorium
Dennos Museum Center
This presentation is a unique opportunity to hear one of the world’s finest architects, Peter Bohlin, discuss the fundamental design principles that underlie his understanding of how great buildings consider the circumstances of the nature of people, places and how we make things.
The designing of Tusen Takk will serve as a means to explore the ideas behind many of the iconic modernist buildings that AIA Gold Medal recipient Peter Bohlin and his firm Bohlin Cywinski Jackson (BCJ.com) have created. Geoffrey Peckham, a photographer and Tusen Takk’s visionary owner and director, will assist in describing Tusen Takk’s past, present and future.
Peter Bohlin was commissioned by Geoffrey Peckham to create Tusen Takk, a spectacular residence with a now under construction artist-in-residence guesthouse and studio located on the shores of Lake Michigan in Leelanau County. Individual artists, one at a time, will come from around the world to Tusen Takk to work for a short period of time. Plans are for collaboration activities to take place at Northwest Michigan College, The Dennos Museum or Leland’s Old Art Building where the Tusen Takk guest artist will share insights about their work with the people of this region.
Tickets are $10 and available by calling the museum at (231) 995-1055, MyNorth Tickets at 800-836-0717, or online at https://mynorthtickets.com/events/designing-tusen-takk. Tickets are free for NMC students with a valid photo ID (pick tickets up at the museum).

Come by, watch the flick, and learn more about what the black student union can do for you. Our regular meetings are every Friday from 4-5 p.m., come by and ask about leadership and travel opportunities, community events and outreach that our group has planned for the year.

TRAVERSE CITY — Northwestern Michigan College (NMC) welcomes the community to the groundbreaking of the new West Hall Innovation Center and the rededication of the Shirley S. Okerstrom Fine Arts Building Monday, September 24, 2018.
“The building projects and the dual celebrations highlight our proud NMC past, as well as our exciting future,” said NMC President Timothy J. Nelson. “Their design, student impact, and community support demonstrate how NMC is, and has always been, a leader in creating forward-thinking structures to help our learners succeed.”
The West Hall Innovation Center project combines state investments of more than $7 million for important renovations and modernizations of the 50-year-old West Hall building with NMC-funded investments of more than $7 million to create a 54,000-square-foot, multi-story library and flexible learning space. It will incorporate innovative and transformative learning environments and multiple academic and simulation spaces. The project has received extensive campus, community and legislative support. For more information on the project go to www.nmc.edu/innovation.
The Shirley S. Okerstrom Fine Arts Building was the last building in the United States designed by famed Bauhaus architect Walter Gropius in 1969. The College invested in refurbishing the building’s unique cedar exterior and windows in 2018.
Groundbreaking at the West Hall Innovation Center begins at 11:30 a.m. followed by the rededication on the Shirley S. Okerstrom Fine Arts Building at 12:30 p.m.
Release date: September 13, 2018
