The University of Michigan built a large, 78,000-square-foot facility to house its School of Nursing. Overlooking the Huron River Valley, the building's large windows needed to both open the facility up to the surrounding landscape and shade learning and instructional spaces. American Warming and Ventilating (AWV) brought extensive engineering expertise to the project, which helped deliver a custom, aesthetically striking sunshade solution that helped foster a comfortable and collaborative environment for students and faculty.
The new building allows UMSN to fulfill its commitment to delivering exceptional education to students, preparing a skilled workforce of nursing scientists, educators and advanced practice nursing professionals that can help meet the public health needs of the world.
