University Elementary School
University Elementary (1930 ca) Bentley Historical Library Photo: BL004471	Now part of the School of Education, the building that stands adjoining the former University High School was a functioning elementary school to also educate future teachers.[97] The school housed the basic facilities necessary such as classrooms, a gymnasium, a small auditorium, and rooms for eating lunch. There was also a small playground located within a courtyard.[97] Facilities for the college students included offices, laboratories, and observation areas. Today, the building is no longer a functioning school, and houses classrooms and offices for the School of Education.[97] As mentioned previously, the Elementary School is joined to the High School, although the buildings are slightly different in style. Overall, it is a two-winged, brick and stone structure. Designed by Malcomson and Higginbotham of Detroit, the building was completed in 1930 at the cost of about $800,000.[97]
