Michigan Union, Student union building in Ann Arbor, US.
The Michigan Union features seven floors of gathering spaces, restaurants, offices, and conference rooms at the intersection of State Street and University Avenue.
Built in 1917 on the site of Professor Thomas Cooley's former residence, the Michigan Union initially restricted women to enter only through the north entrance with male escorts.
The building entrance displays two symbolic statues: an athlete facing south campus and a scholar looking toward central and north campus, representing student life balance.
The building contains eight dining establishments, including Blue Market, Panera Bread, Qdoba Mexican Eats, and Sweetwaters Coffee, serving students until late evening hours.
The courtyard floor contains 38,000 pieces of end grain wood, while some tables in the building were crafted from the wood of the Union's former bowling alley lanes.
