Gov. Jennifer Granholm has signed a bill that gives Eastern Michigan University $31.5 million to modernize its Pray-Harrold classroom building.
“This is wonderful news. It will allow us to renovate Pray-Harrold so EMU can provide world-class instruction to our students,” said Susan Martin, president of EMU said in a statement. “We thank the Governor, legislature and citizens of this State for their support of this critical building project. This is our first significant capital outlay appropriation since 1996. We look forward to future support to revitalize our facilities. This project will support many construction jobs in eastern Washtenaw County.”
Pray-Harrold, at 237,108 square feet, was built in 1969 and is EMU’s largest classroom building. It serves an average of 10,000 students per day.
