ANN ARBOR, MI - The University of Michigan Board of Regents is voting on a proposed weight room for the UM football program within Bennie Oosterbaan Field House during its meeting on Thursday, Feb. 16.
The $21 million project would construct a 32,000-square-foot weight room, including a 5,000-gross-square-foot mezzanine level, within the existing building for strength and conditioning training.
According to the Regents' action request, the project also would address infrastructure and life safety needs, including replacement of the existing roof, installation of new fire alarm and suppression systems and upgrades to the heating, ventilation, air conditioning and lighting systems throughout the 78,000-square-foot building.
