ANN ARBOR—University of Michigan Regents, at their Dec. 18-19 meeting, approved the following renovation projects on the Ann Arbor campus:

• A 750-square-foot, one-level, detached, and unheated building will be constructed as a receiving facility for the Central Campus Recreation Building. “The CCRB was constructed in 1977 with a limited receiving entrance area that included no equipment holding area,” said Robert Kasdin, U-M executive vice president. “Recreational Sports has a need for a receiving area which will permit the unloading and holding of recreational sports equipment prior to being placed within the CCRB. The project is estimated to cost $135,000.”

• The Medical School will continue its efforts to “upgrade the interior of the Medical Science I Building to contemporary biomedical research facility standards. The project, estimated to cost $1.7 million, will include new casework, finishes, and fixed equipment in 6,600 square feet of space.”
