The University of Michigan's Law Quad is receiving a bit of a touch up as workers begin restoring the famous building's Reading Room.

Excerpt:

These days there isn't much reading going on in the Reading Room of the University of Michigan's Law Quad. At least, not while work crews renovate and upgrade the church-like space in one of the university's most recognizable buildings.

The crews are restoring the room as part of the Law Quad's $102-million renovation project. For the Reading Room this means restoration of its interior and upgraded lighting. The $1.2 million project also includes cleaning the ceiling, refinishing the tables and replacing the current flooring with cork floors that are similar to those that originally graced the room.
