Oakwood Healthcare, U-M plan to revitalize Dearborn building

An abandoned building is getting a fresh lease on life in Dearborn courtesy of Oakwood Healthcare and the University of Michigan-Dearborn.

The two institutions are renovating the old UAW/Ford Dearborn West Family Service and Learning Center on Rotunda Road near Oakwood Boulevard. They are turning the vacant 38,000-square-foot building into a state-of-the-art facility that will house Oakwood’s Program for Exceptional Families, as well as a clinician training facility.

The Exceptional Families program provides services for children with disabilities and their families. Also occupying the space is U-M Dearborn’s Child Development Center, which will give opportunities for local families, along with university teachers and students.

Oakwood and U-M Dearborn entered into a collaboration agreement in December 2006, which focused on building a comprehensive, long-term relationship to support each other’s missions for education, clinical care, research and service to the community.
