As construction manager of the six-story Thayer Academic Building, Walbridge was tasked with a fast-track schedule and building on a very confined site, located on the University of Michigan’s North Campus.

The $17 million building boasts classroom and resource areas, faculty offices, meeting rooms, department libraries and exhibition space; as well as a penthouse for mechanical equipment. The steel-framed building was completed in a year and three months.
