Renovating North Hall, built 113 years ago, would be too costly

North Hall, the facility on the University of Michigan's Ann Arbor campus that houses the school’s ROTC programming, is set for demolition, pending approval by the Board of Regents. The Michigan Daily reports that the university wants the building torn down because repairs would be too costly. North Hall was built between 1899 and 1900 as the Homeopathic Hospital Building, according to records. It has housed ROTC programs since 1940.
