UMCI Breaks Ground Center to Spur Economic Growth, Educational Enrichment in Detroit

The University of Michigan Center for Innovation in Detroit broke ground Thursday with high-energy musical performances and 13 shovels held by leaders of the partners bringing the project to fruition.

“Today’s groundbreaking is far more than the promise of a new building. It is a profound expression of our sustained and lasting commitment to the city of Detroit, and of our faith in a shining future for the state of Michigan,” said U-M President Santa J. Ono. “It’s a proud moment for all of us.”

Music from the U-M Student Jazz Trio, Cass Tech Madrigals and the U-M Fanfare Band punctuated the ceremonial dirt lifting and upbeat comments from speakers.

The center will be funded by a $100 million gift from donor Stephen M. Ross, $100 million from the state of Michigan, a land donation of 2.08 acres at the intersection of Grand River Avenue and West Columbia Street from Olympia Development of Michigan, and an additional $50 million will be raised from donors.

The cornerstone of the first building of the university was laid on Sept. 14, 1817—near the corner of Bates and Congress streets in Detroit—not too far from where the new UMCI will be located.

“Now the University of Michigan is back home and we couldn’t be happier,” said Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan, a U-M alumnus who was credited with the tenacity and determination to see the project through from idea to happening.

11/27/23 UMCI for Record

Duggan also shared the spotlight with Ross, a major U-M donor and alum and chairman of Related Cos. “The person who make this happen was a son of Detroit… and Stephen what you’ve done, you’ve changed the history of this city.”

Ross, who is a Detroit native, said the UMCI project was “the longest of anything in my career…” But that even through the twists and turns since it was first announced in 2019, “nobody really lost faith because they saw how important this would be.”

Sarah Hubbard, chair of the U-M Board of Regents, said the partnership will bring world-class research, education and entrepreneurship; innovation and talent-focused community development that will propel job creation in the city, region and statewide, and economic development in the city of Detroit.

It will all be “anchored by masters’ degrees and workforce development programs that will focus on technology and innovation,” Hubbard said. “All offered right here in Detroit, under the care of the University of Michigan leadership and built on the foundation of excellence that the Block M represents. We are excited to watch this program unfold, and excited to be making it happen in Detroit.”

Other speakers at the event included, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Mary Sheffield, Detroit City Council president, Chris Ilitch, president and CEO of Ilitch Holdings, Laurie McCauley, U-M provost, Geoff Chatas, U-M chief financial officer, and Lisa Phillips, principal, Cass Tech High School.

“This is what we can accomplish when we work together and aspire to do tremendous things to lift up the people of our community to new heights. I am truly inspired by this entire initiative,” Ilitch said.

“Today marks the beginning of a transformative journey that will undoubtedly shape the future of education, innovation, and collaboration,” said Phillips. “Together, we are embarking on a journey that will empower our students with unparalleled opportunities to engage in hands-on learning experiences, connect with industry leaders, and explore the boundless possibilities that arise at the intersection of education and innovation.”

And Sheffield voiced her belief that the UMCI would help secure the community for decades to come. “UMCI will serve as a vessel that will help us with the critical issue in our city which is retaining our talented, young Detroiters.”

A group of valedictorians from Cass Tech were honored guests at the event. Laurie K. McCauley, provost and executive vice president for academic affairs, invited all of them to apply to U-M. She noted that elementary school students who may see the UMCI could be inspired to apply to obtain their own U-M advanced degrees. “That is the vision we are here to manifest: a hub of innovation for generations to come,” McCauley said.

The UMCI will be built on 2 acres of this parking lot, a donation of land from Olympia Development

The UMCI will feature an array of inaugural degrees, as well as non-credit workforce development for in-demand areas like programming, entrepreneurship, and data science. And of course, a robust spectrum of community engagement that builds on the hundreds of U-M projects underway in Detroit.

The center, along with the P-20 Partnership at the School at Marygrove, the $40 illion Rackham building renovation, the U-M Detroit Center, which opened in 2005 in Midtown, and hundreds of other projects U-M works on with community partners around the city, are examples of how the university has stepped up its community engagement in the city in recent years.

UMCI will benefit from being near the proposed $1.5 billion,10-building mixed-use development that Related Companies and Olympia Development have joined forces to develop in The District Detroit near the Fox Theatre and professional sports stadiums.

“When complete, it will be a world-class research, education and entrepreneurship center, one that educates and retains world-class talent, one that drives innovation and economic growth and job creation, and one that empowers the next generation of Detroiters to dream bigger dreams … and transform their dreams into realities,” Ono said.

Inicia construcción del centro de innovación de la U-M en Detroit

El Centro de Innovación de la Universidad de Michigan en Detroit inició su construcción el jueves con espectáculos musicales y con 13 palas sostenidas por los líderes asociados al proyecto.

“El inicio de las obras de hoy es mucho más que la promesa de un nuevo edificio. Es una expresión profunda de nuestro compromiso sostenido y duradero con la ciudad de Detroit y de nuestra fe en un futuro brillante para el estado de Michigan”, dijo el presidente de la U-M, Santa J. Ono. “Es un momento de orgullo para todos nosotros”.

La música del Trío de Jazz Estudiantil de U-M, los Madrigales de la Escuela Cass Tech y la Fanfarria de la U-M, marcaron el levantamiento ceremonial de la tierra y los comentarios positivos de los oradores.

El centro será financiado por una donación de $100 millones del donante Stephen M. Ross, $100 millones del estado de Michigan, una donación de tierras de 2.08 acres en la intersección de Grand River Avenue y West Columbia Street por parte de Olympia Development of Michigan, y se recaudarán $50 millones adicionales de donantes.

La primera piedra del primer edificio de la universidad se colocó el 14 de septiembre de 1817, cerca de la esquina de las calles Bates y Congress en Detroit, no muy lejos de donde estará ubicado el nuevo centro.

“Ahora la Universidad de Michigan está de regreso en casa y no podríamos estar más felices”, dijo El Alcalde de Detroit, Mike Duggan, un ex-alumno de la U-M a quien se le atribuye la tenacidad y la determinación para llevar el proyecto desde una idea hasta su realización.

Duggan compartió protagonismo con Ross, un destacado donante y ex-alumno de U-M y presidente de Related Cos. “La persona que hizo esto posible es un hijo de Detroit… y lo que has hecho, Stephen, has cambiado la historia de esta ciudad.”

Ross, quien es nativo de Detroit, dijo que el proyecto ha sido “lo más largo de cualquier cosa en mi carrera…” Pero incluso a pesar de los giros y vueltas desde que se anunció por primera vez en 2019, “nadie perdió realmente la fe porque vieron lo importante que sería esto.”

La Presidenta del Consejo de Regidores de la U-M, Sarah Hubbard, dijo que la asociación aportará investigación, educación y emprendimiento de clase mundial. Esta iniciativa promoverá la innovación y el desarrollo comunitario, enfocándose en el talento local para impulsar la creación de empleos en la ciudad, la región y el estado. Asimismo, contribuirá al desarrollo económico de la vibrante ciudad de Detroit.

Todo estará “anclado por títulos de maestría y programas de desarrollo de la fuerza laboral con un enfoque a la tecnología e innovación”, dijo Hubbard. “Todo ofrecido aquí mismo en Detroit, bajo el liderazgo de la Universidad de Michigan y construido sobre la base de excelencia que representa la letra M de nuestra universidad. Estamos emocionados de ver cómo se desarrolla este programa y emocionados de estar haciéndolo posible en Detroit.

Entre los oradores se encontraban la Gobernadora, Gretchen Whitmer, la Presidenta del Consejo Municipal de Detroit, Mary Sheffield, Chris Ilitch, Presidente y Director Ejecutivo de Ilitch Holdings, Laurie McCauley, Rectora de la U-M, Geoff Chatas, Director Financiero de la U-M, y Lisa Phillips, Directora de Cass Tech High School.

“Esto es lo que podemos lograr cuando trabajamos juntos y aspiramos a hacer cosas tremendas para elevar a las personas de nuestra comunidad a nuevas alturas. Estoy realmente inspirado por esta iniciativa”, dijo Ilitch.

“Hoy marca el comienzo de un viaje transformador que sin duda moldeará el futuro de la educación, la innovación y la colaboración”, dijo Phillips. “Juntos, nos embarcamos en un viaje que proporcionará a nuestros estudiantes oportunidades inigualables para participar en experiencias de aprendizaje práctico, conectar con líderes de la industria y explorar las infinitas posibilidades que surgen en la intersección de la educación y la innovación.”

Sheffield expresó su creencia de que el centro ayudará a asegurar la comunidad en las próximas décadas. “El centro servirá como un vehículo que nos ayudará con el problema crítico en nuestra ciudad, que es retener a nuestros talentosos jóvenes de Detroit”.

Un grupo de estudiantes con honores de Cass Tech fueron invitados al evento.

Laurie K. McCauley, Rectora y Vicepresidenta Ejecutiva de Asuntos Académicos, invitó a todos ellos a aplicar a la U-M. Señaló que los estudiantes de escuela primaria que podrían ver el centro podrían estar inspirados a aplicar para obtener sus propios títulos avanzados de la U-M.

“Esa es la visión que estamos aquí para manifestar: un centro de innovación para generaciones futuras”, dijo McCauley.

The UMCI will be built on 2 acres of this parking lot, a donation of land from Olympia Development

El centro ofrecerá una amplia variedad de títulos, así como programas de desarrollo de la fuerza laboral que no requieren créditos, en áreas de alta demanda como la programación, el emprendimiento y la ciencia de datos. Además, se compromete profundamente con la comunidad, basándose en los cientos de proyectos de la U-M en marcha en Detroit.

El centro, junto con la Asociación P-20 en la Escuela de Marygrove, la renovación del edificio Rackham de $40 millones, el Centro de Detroit de la U-M que abrió en 2005 en Midtown, y cientos de otros proyectos que la U-M desarrolla con socios comunitarios en la ciudad, son ejemplos de cómo la universidad ha intensificado su compromiso con la comunidad en los últimos años.

El Centro de Innovación de la Universidad de Michigan se beneficiará de su proximidad al propuesto desarrollo de uso mixto de $1.5 mil millones y 10 edificios que Related Companies y Olympia Development se han unido para desarrollar en The District Detroit cerca del Fox Theatre y los estadios de deportes profesionales.

“Cuando esté completado, se convertirá en un destacado centro de investigación, educación y emprendimiento a nivel mundial. Este centro no solo educará y atraerá a talento excepcional, sino que también cataliza la innovación, el crecimiento económico y la generación de empleo. Asimismo, empoderará a la próxima generación de habitantes de Detroit para que sueñen en grande… y conviertan esos sueños en realidades”, afirmó Ono.
