WMU Facilities

Our jaws dropped when we saw the newly renovated Stafford-Smith weight room at the Bill Brown football building. 😲 Our planning design and construction team did a great job leading the project to this end result!

The project to turn Oliver Lane into a no-outlet street, removing its intersection with Oakland Drive, was recently finished. It's completion addresses a long-standing safety issue of insufficient sight distance making turning movements difficult. Those looking to enter East Campus from Oakland Drive should do so from the traffic light at the intersection with Oliver Street.

While most students are away this summer, we're busy making improvements across campus! A big one we finished last month is a new and improved pedestrian crossing experience between the Valley Dining Center and the Goldworth Valley Pond bridge. The new crosswalk enhances pedestrian visibility through the use of a speed table. ⚠️

We can't wait to see students back on campus, using the crosswalk every day! 🚶🏽‍➡️🚶🏿‍♀️‍➡️

Our offices are closed today for the observed Independence Day holiday. If you have any facilities emergencies, please call us at (269) 387-8514.

Congratulations, Summer 2026 graduates! Your hard work has paid off and we are so extremely proud of you. Here's to your next great adventure! 🎓 🎉👏

How do we celebrate our amazing employees? A pop-up ice cream social, of course! 🍨

From time to time, we like to surprise our team with a little treat as a big thanks for all they do to keep campus running. We're grateful for their hard work and dedication every day! 💛

When storms move through campus, they can sometimes leave behind downed trees or limbs. Our landscape team is out early the next morning, carefully assessing campus and working to clear impacted areas before the day begins.

Their quick response helps keep Western Michigan University safe and running smoothly—we're grateful for all they do! ⛈️🌳
