ANN ARBOR — The University of Michigan's new "Wolverine Village" housing development opens this weekend with about 2,300 beds, one of the largest single additions to campus housing in the university's history.
University officials have pointed to the project as a response to years of tight off-campus rental supply and rising student rents in Ann Arbor.
