For those out of town, a few pics outside the Schembechler Hall renovation, scheduled to re-open in April:
Corner facade from State St – note the block M in stone on the corner.
A view of the entrance from State St..
Cornerstone is in – what did they put inside? Singing frog named Michigan J.?
The glass wrap-around from the sidewalk
Epic quote from Fritz Crisler on the Michigan tradition behind the blue Ladder of Shame, highlighting historic lowlights.
Those Who Stay Will Be Champions – etched in stone greets everyone at the main entrance.
The Righteous Tower of Victory Pigskins – this wraps around inside. Looks like they are numbered and I assume they signify each football win in history (yes, there are enough of them to do that).
The Wall of Greats – a collection of great players, coaches, teams and moments.

WOW that looks great. I love the big glass windows and how the classic brick facade matches with Yost and Glick.
Thanks a lot for the pictures!

Yeah, very cool how the athletic campus has become architecturally harmonious. We’ve classed things up there over the past 20 years . . . I remember when Michigan Stadium just had a cheap chain-link fence around it. And of course Crisler resembled a dungeon inside not too long ago.
Great photos!
