The historic Ford Center Sawmill at Michigan Tech’s Ford Forest and Center is getting a facelift. One of three original Ford-operated sawmills in Baraga County, Michigan, the circa 1936 sawmill is receiving all-new exterior siding from Louisiana Pacific Building Solutions (LP).
College of Forest Resources and Environmental Science Dean David Flaspohler said the siding project, now underway and expected to be completed by the end of summer, is made possible through the generous support of LP, a local donor, and has a direct connection to Michigan Tech research.
