Nelson. &#8220;These projects will increase NMC&#8217;s ability to serve our learners and the community, while also updating outdated campus infrastructure.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The $8.8-million, 135-bed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nmc.edu\/student-services\/housing\/north-hall\/index.html\">North Hall<\/a> is the first new student housing on campus in more than 40 years and was built in response to demand, since on-campus housing has been at capacity for four years. Units are designed in quad suites with shared kitchen and living space. (See a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.record-eagle.com\/news\/local_news\/cam-new-nmc-dorm-rooms\/html_0df8e44e-86a2-11e7-bdb0-0bae1abb4f61.html#(link%20opens%20new%20window)\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">360-degree view<\/a> of the shared space.) Laundry facilities and study or meeting space is available on each floor, with a fitness center on the ground floor.<\/p>\n<p>Located on the eastern end of main campus, North Hall has also been designed with a flexible format where sections could be used for workforce development housing in off-peak times.<\/p>\n<p class=\"NewTextBlock\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Dennos Museum Center addition construction\" class=\"AlignImageRight\" height=\"187\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.nmc.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/34c7c3c3c66cc78d627b6bb0aa5888badennos-addition-construction-2.jpg\" width=\"239\" \/>In July, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dennosmuseum.org\/index.html\">Dennos Museum Center<\/a> re-opened on a limited basis, with exhibitions in the Sculpture Court and Inuit gallery. Admission is reduced while the rest of the 15,000-square-foot expansion is completed. Construction of two new galleries and other renovations are scheduled to be finished this fall, with a grand re-opening of the entire museum planned for November. The expanded galleries were funded by generous donations from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nmc.edu\/news\/2015\/09\/dennos-expansion.html\">Richard and Diana Milock<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nmc.edu\/news\/2015\/12\/smith-inuit-gift.html\">Barb and Dudley Smith<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, construction of the Timothy J. Nelson Innovation Center is set to begin in May 2018 after funds were committed in the state of Michigan fiscal 2018 budget.<\/p>\n<p>Once complete, the center will combine state and NMC investments of more than $7 million each for renovations and modernizations of the 50-year-old West Hall into a new multi-story library and flexible learning space.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Combined, these projects show the dedication of our NMC employees, donors, community, business and governmental partners all working together to help ensure our learners are successful,&#8221; Nelson said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>August 30, 2017 North Hall ribbon cutting ceremonyNMC&#8217;s fall semester will be bookended by celebrations of new campus facilities, with last week&#8217;s opening of the North Hall residence hall and a grand re-opening of an expanded Dennos Museum Center targeted for November. &#8220;It&#8217;s an exciting time at NMC as we see years of hard work [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[68,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-110482","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-intercom","category-student-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
