Bursley Hall
Bursley Hall

Bursley Hall is a University of Michigan residence hall located on the University of Michigan North Campus in Ann Arbor, Michigan. It is the largest dormitory at the University of Michigan, housing approximately 1,300 students.Bursley Hall is named after Joseph Aldrich Bursley (1877-1950) and his wife, the former Marguerite Knowlton. Bursley was a U-M faculty member and administrator from 1904 to 1947. He served as professor of mechanical engineering, the first dean of men and dean of students. At the time of its opening on October 5, 1967, Bursley Hall was the newest residential complex at the University of Michigan and it remained so until 2010, when North Quad Residential and Academic Complex was opened on the University's Central Campus. Although the building has seen a number of upgrades, much of its original construction remains in place.Bursley includes a convenience store, the Blue Market, and a dining hall that serves all University of Michigan students. Bursley's dining hall underwent extensive renovations to the seating areas in 2014, followed by a $4.5 million renovation to the 4,700 square foot food service area in the summer of 2016. This renovation reconfigured the service area to include five distinct food service stations, each dedicated to a particular type of cuisine.In January 2015, the Sustainability Cultural Indicators Program (SCIP) began an experiment in Bursley Hall to increase composting opportunities beyond the dining hall and to educate students about composting and sustainability. Robert Marans, co-principal investigator of SCIP, says that composting opportunities will likely expand to other residence halls on the campus if the experiment in Bursley is successful.

Stearns Collection of Musical Instruments
Stearns Collection of Musical Instruments

The Stearns Collection of Musical Instruments, held by the University of Michigan's School of Music, Theatre & Dance in Ann Arbor, Michigan, consists of over 2,500 historical and contemporary musical instruments from around the world. The basis of the Collection is a gift made to the university by pharmaceutical businessman Frederick Stearns in 1898. Known internationally as a unique research collection, its holdings include the trumpet collection of Armando Ghitalla, former principal trumpet player of the Boston Symphony Orchestra and University of Michigan faculty member; a collection of violin bows from Jerry Tetewsky; as well as Robert Moog's first commercially produced Moog synthesizer from 1964 and the RCA theremin used during the WXYZ broadcasts of the Green Hornet from 1936 to 1952. A Catalog documenting the Collection's holdings was published in 1918 by Albert A. Stanley, with a second edition published in 1921. In 1988, Professor James M. Borders published a catalog featuring the Collection's European and American wind and percussion instruments. The museum's collections include a number of forged or altered items, purchased by the founder from the notorious Italian instrument dealer Leopoldo Franciolini. The museum's web site and signage are unusual among musical instrument museums for the scrupulous care with which these items are identified. The collection is exhibited in the lower lobby of the university's Hill Auditorium on the Central Campus and at the Earl V. Moore Building on the North Campus.

Ford Nuclear Reactor

The Ford Nuclear Reactor was a facility at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor dedicated to investigating the peaceful uses of nuclear power. It was a part of the Michigan Memorial Phoenix Project, a living memorial created to honor the casualties of World War II. The reactor operated from September 1957 until July 3, 2003. During its operation, the FNR was used to study medicine, cellular biology, chemistry, physics, mineralogy, archeology, anthropology, and nuclear science. The reactor was a swimming pool reactor, originally operating at 1 MW using 93% enriched U-235 aluminum-based fuel. It was later upgraded to 2 MW, using 19.5% enriched fuel. The Department of Energy fabricated, transported, and disposed of the fuel at no cost to the University. The reactor had a peak thermal flux of 3×1013 n/cm2s. It had 10 beam ports. It was constructed by Babcock & Wilcox under a subcontract with Leeds & Northrup. The decommissioned FNR building, Phoenix Memorial Laboratory, still stands on North Campus at the University of Michigan. The building has been renovated into a home for the Michigan Memorial Phoenix Energy Institute, a university-wide program tasked with charting the path towards sustainable energy. In 2015 a $12 million dollar renovation began on the reactor space itself to transform the area into a new laboratory for the Nuclear Engineering department at the university. The laboratory building, named the Nuclear Engineering Laboratory, was opened in April 2017.
