The University of Michigan and the National Science Foundation will jointly participate in the replacement of facilities for an interdisciplinary program in manufacturing research. NSF support will help establish a new Integrated Machining Systems Laboratory in the Dow Building. The project is designed to promote new innovations in all aspects of machining systems, including machine design, process design and planning, tooling, system design and integration, computer control architectures, information networks, and measurement and control systems. These efforts are interdisciplinary in nature and will be facilitated through proximity of engineers, scientists and students in renovated space. The machine tool industry is the backbone for all durable goods manufacturing, including the production of automobiles, airplanes, farm machinery and construction equipment. Just a decade ago, the U.S. was the world leader in the machine tool industry; today it is ranked fourth. To regain its competitive position, the U.S. machine tool industry needs to rely on technological innovations and a well-trained workforce. NSF-sponsored renovations will include installation of increased electrical power, and computer networks with fiber optic cabling to support the integrative machining system. In addition, modifications will be necessary to reconfigure some of the space and to increase the HVAC capability.

密歇根大学和美国国家科学基金会将共同参与制造研究跨学科项目的设施更换。 NSF的支持将帮助在陶氏大楼建立一个新的综合加工系统实验室。该项目旨在促进加工系统各个方面的创新，包括机器设计，工艺设计和规划，工具，系统设计和集成，计算机控制体系结构，信息网络以及测量和控制系统。 这些工作是跨学科的，将通过工程师、科学家和学生在翻修后的空间内的近距离接触来促进。 机床工业是所有耐用品制造业的支柱，包括汽车、飞机、农业机械和建筑设备的生产。 就在十年前，美国是机床行业的世界领导者;今天它排名第四。 为了重新获得竞争地位，美国机床行业需要依靠技术创新和训练有素的劳动力。 NSF赞助的改造将包括安装增加的电力和计算机网络与光纤电缆，以支持综合加工系统。 此外，还需要进行改造，以重新配置一些空间，并提高暖通空调系统的能力。
