This Update combines a review of the previous Master Plan (1972) with a Noise Compatibility Program prepared under Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 150, "Airport Noise Compatibility Planning." The previous Master Plan was reviewed to 1) maximize use of the site and revenues derived from it; 2) reflect changing conditions such as airline deregulation and improved national economy; 3) determine if a new runway would be required to replace the decommissioned one. The primary purposes of the Noise Compatibility Program was to recommend actions to 1) abate and mitigate aircraft noise exposure for existing noise-sensitive land uses; 2) ensure that the existing compatible uses in the surrounding community are retained in compatible use.

Campus planning is often a crucial underlying set of goals for university administrations, even if, over time, the mix of new and old buildings, changes in usage patterns and activities of students, and evolution of styles present challenges to a cohesive campus plan. In its two-hundred year history the University of Michigan has planned its campus in waves, from the earliest days of the iconic buildings around the Diag to the plans for the hospitals and the North Campus. This immensely informative and entertaining second volume in the history of the evolution of the campuses offers an absorbing narrative from the perspective of Fred Mayer, who served for more than three decades as the campus planner for the university during an important period of its growth during the late twentieth century. By tracing the development of the Ann Arbor campus from its early days to the present, within the context of the evolution of higher education in America, Mayer provides a strong argument for the importance of rigorous and enlightened campus planning as a critical element of the learning environment of the university. His comprehensive history of campus planning, illustrated with photos, maps, and diagrams from Michigan’s history, is an outstanding contribution to the university’s history as it approaches its bicentennial.
