The University of Michigan hosted an open house for the new North Quad dormitory on Wednesday afternoon. The open house included a joining of flags by U-M President Mary Sue Coleman and Provost Phil Hanlon, along with tours through the new building that showed off several community spaces, dorm rooms and the cafeteria.

The 360,000-square-foot, $175 million building on State Street houses 450 sophomore-and-above students. It's also home to the School of Information and four academic units of U-M's College of Literature, Science and the Arts.
