University Towers is a residential apartment building in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The building was constructed in 1965[4] and stands at 19 floors, with 240 units/rooms. The high-rise also contains a fitness center.[5] At the time of construction, it was the tallest building in Washtenaw County and second tallest structure, behind Burton Memorial Tower.
It was designed in the international architectural style, using concrete and glass as its main materials.[5]
University Towers started a major renovation project in 2014–2015. Improvements to the lobby, amenities, resident apartments and services have been modernized.
