The area behind Woodland Park apartments is currently being developed to showcase sustainability projects on campus. Throughout Summer 2025, several exciting developments enhanced the space and its connection to campus sustainability efforts.

Solar Panel Relocation: The solar panels formerly located behind the SHINE building on Presque Isle Avenue have been successfully relocated to Woodland Park. These panels now help power the Woodland Park Apartments, supporting NMU’s commitment to renewable energy.

Hoop House Expansion: Thanks to funding awarded to the NMU Food Pantry by the Michigan Hunger-Free Campus Pilot Program, NMU has acquired two new hoop houses and materials for the Construction Management program to build ten raised garden beds.
