A view of the Duderstadt Center at night. The 270,000 square foot James and Anne Duderstadt Center was the first U-M academic building to operate 24 hours-a-day for the convenience of students and faculty

The 270,000 square foot James and Anne Duderstadt Center was the first U-M academic building to operate 24 hours-a-day for the convenience of students and faculty.

The Duderstadt Center facility is operated as a collaboration of multiple units including:

  • Digital Media Commons, a unit of the Office of the Vice Provost for Academic Innovation
  • Art, Architecture and Engineering Library, a unit of the U-M Library
  • CAEN, the College of Engineering IT Services provider
  • MuJo Cafe/MDining
  • U-M Facilities and Operations; Custodial Services and Grounds

Teams from each of these units work together to provide staff for daily operations, security, health and safety, custodial services, building mechanical equipment, network systems, space planning and capital improvements.

It’s a big job, requiring coordination and communication to operate services for the Dude’s 270,000 square feet of space, but are always eager to receive your input and feedback to make it all work even better for you. Email us at: dc-information@umich.edu
