John X. Jamrich Hall
Planning for Jamrich Hall started in 2009 with the goal of "providing an efficient, state-of-the-art facility that improves academic delivery, maximizes building use and reduces overall operational and maintenance costs."
Jamrich Hall officially opened on Aug. 18, 2014 as a replacement to the old Jamrich Hall. This 133,000 square foot state-of-the-art building features a new, 3-story classroom facility with a connector walkway to the NMU Learning Resources Center. Some of the features include:
- A 500-seat lecture hall with a prominent stage
- Three 80-seat lecture rooms with tiered seating
- 24 active learning classrooms designed to encourage collaborative learning
- 106 administrative offices and support areas
- Three meeting rooms
- Nine teaching assistant suites
- Six informal learning areas in the large corridor areas
- Starbucks
Jamrich houses five academic department offices (English, Criminal Justice, Sociology and Anthropology, Social Work, and the Math and Computer Science) and is LEED-certified, meaning that its construction meets the standards of sustainability and energy efficiency set forth by the U.S. Green Building Council.
