2 - Friday, April 4, 2008 Northward bound For students living on North Cam- pus, the bus commute to and from Central Campus serves as a daily reminder of just how different the two University campuses are. And while many gripe about the bus ride, few know the story of why the University created North Cam- pus. In the 1940s, the University's Engineering Research Institute had outgrown its existing facilities. At the same time, rising demands for government-funded research meant the University needed to expand its engineering facilities. R.P. Briggs, then the Universi- ty's vice president of business and finance, suggested that the Univer- sity purchase property away from campus rather than build new facil- ities in the cramped area near the existing Engineering buildings. The "conscious decentraliza- tion" of campus officially began in 1950, when the University Board of Regents approved the purchase of 88 acres of land northwest of the Huron River. With this purchase, North Campus was born, with more parcels added to the original prop- erty soon after. North Campus property even- tually totaled 378 acres, including sections designated for apartment buildings. A portion of the annexed land was originally slated to become a cemetery. In addition, many of the evergreen trees currently on Cen- tral Campus, like those near West Hall, came from this cemetery area, although the cemetery never came to fruition. In an effort to maintain a consis- tent architectural theme on North Campus, the regents selected a single architectural firm to devel- op plans for North Campus. W.K. Pierpont, the University's then-vice president, contracted Eero Saarin- en and Associates of Birmingham, Michigan, to consult on the devel- opment. The first building built on the new North Campus was the Mortimer E. Cooley Laboratory, followed by the Phoenix Memorial Laboratory. In anticipation of the College of Engineering's complete relocation to North Campus, the Automotive Engineering Building and Aeronau- tical Laboratory were also built on North Campus. In1964,theSchoolofMusicbuild- ing followed and was the firstschool to officially adopt North Campus as its base. The move resulted in a new student lounge, a place to eat, and the construction of North Campus residence halls. CAITLIN SCHNEIDER The Mortimer Elwyn Cooley Laboratory on North Campus, shown here, was the first building constructed on North Cam- pus. It was dedicated in 1953to Mortimer Elwyn Cooley, the College of Engineering Dean from 1904 to 1928, who helped establish the Engineering Research Institute.
