“Destination Detroit Center” is one of four major events held this year as part of our 10th Anniversary celebration. On September 21, 2005, the University of Michigan Detroit Center officially opened its doors. While supporting outreach and research activities, the Detroit Center was heralded as a strategic opportunity where the University could play an active role in Detroit’s redevelopment.
“The University of Michigan was founded in Detroit in 1817, and we have remained committed and connected to this city,” said former U-M President Mary Sue Coleman, in introducing the center to the Detroit community in 2005. “Providing a home for our many Detroit projects in the heart of the city’s cultural center makes us far more visible and accessible and enables us to be a part of its revitalization. We look forward to the way this center will strengthen the partnership between UM and Detroiters.”
