Mortimer E. Cooley
Mortimer E. Cooley joined the University of Michigan in 1881, and began
an aggressive program in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering. Cooley
was from the Navy, and had been consigned by the Navy to work at UM in
steam power plant and iron ship building.

The first UM Engineering Building
Built immediately after the arrival of Mortimer E. Cooley (1881), and
under his supervision, this building was the only University building
devoted entirely to engineering. It is typical of Cooley's luck that the
acting president of the University should suddenly realize that he had
an unexpended appropriation of $2500 requiring immediate disbursement.
Of this, $1500 went into the structure itself, leaving $1000 for equipment:
foundry, forge, machine shop, engine shop, and pattern making shop. The
building was in use by February 1882.
