Visiting NCRC:

Currently, because NCRC is not yet in use and renovations are needed to several buildings, access to the site is strictly limited and entrances are secured. U-M security and facilities staff are posted at the complex.

For the immediate future, all other access to the site will be by appointment only. The Medical School Facilities Office will be the point of contact for most requests, and offers tours on Tuesdays from 2-4 p.m. and Thursdays from 9-11 a.m. for members of the U-M community, or friends of the University, who have a specific interest in the site.

Contact Kathy Henderson, khend@umich.edu or 647-2788 to join a tour or make other inquiries about NCRC use.

Until the campus is fully open, a "virtual tour" video will soon be posted online that can show you the features of the NCRC without leaving your computer. We'll let you know when it's posted.

About U-M Research Growth

Dean Woolliscroft U-M’s purchase of the former Pfizer pharmaceutical research facility will foster immediate expansion of the University’s already robust and rapidly growing research enterprise, which is one of the largest in the United States, approaching $1 billion in annual expenditures.

The purchase includes four parcels of land and 30 buildings encompassing nearly 2 million square feet of sophisticated laboratory facilities and administrative space, along with furnishings. In all, the campus will expand U-M research capacity by 10 percent.

This expansion will bring economic benefits for both the University and the surrounding region by making strategic use of U-M resources while attracting and retaining skilled workers, strengthening Michigan’s life sciences industry and ensuring U-M’s national standing in research and discovery for decades to come.
