North Campus Grounds Gallery

The Wave Field & Wilson Center

Probably one of the most well-known North Campus landmarks is the Wave Field. Maya Lin, the artist who made the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington D.C., installed the work in 1995. Tucked behind the Francois-Xavier Bagnoud Building, the work is meant to mimic sine waves and is a favorite locale for testing robots and rovers.

Just next door is the Wilson Center where student organizations – including the Solar Car team, MRover, Michigan Electric Racing, and Baja Racing – build and house their creations.

Our world class facilities include the Lurie Nanofabrication Facility, a 13,500 sq. ft. cleanroom space that provides advanced micro- and nano-fabrication equipment, and ZEUS, the most powerful laser to be built in the U.S.

Recreation

The North Campus Recreation Building, or the NCRB, features improved cardio, strength, and group exercise areas, updated racquetball courts, a resurfaced track, air conditioning, new ADA-accessible locker rooms and sauna, plus more windows and light.
