Michigan Technological University's campus sits on 925 acres (374 ha) on a bluff overlooking Portage Lake. ==Campuses and buildings== The main Michigan Tech campus is located mainly on US 41 in Houghton, Michigan. It is the safest campus in Michigan, and the third safest in the United States according to ''Reader's Digest''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.rd.com/family/ranking-the-safest-and-worst-college-campuses/ )〕 Many of the buildings are built up, as opposed to short and wide, which reduces the size of the campus. Michigan Tech also maintains the following areas: *Ford Forestry Center and Research Forest in Alberta, Michigan *Keweenaw Research Center at the Houghton County Airport near Hancock (site of vehicle testing, the Winter Driving School)〔http://www.mtukrc.org/〕 *Portage Lake Golf Course in Portage Township *Mont Ripley ski hill in Ripley, Michigan *The Michigan Tech Research Institute (MTRI) in Ann Arbor *Former UPPCO Building in Houghton〔http://www.admin.mtu.edu/urel/news/media_relations/662/〕 *Several forest areas including: Swedetown Tract, Nara Property, Dow Tract, and Wilkinson Tract *A small campus near New Delhi, India, opened in 2003. In addition, the offices of the Michigan Tech Fund are located in the Citizens Bank Building in Hancock.〔http://www.admin.mtu.edu/rbb.html〕 Other office areas are at the UPPCO building in Houghton. Faculty are involved in several distance education programs, with clients such as General Motors. The Portage Lake Golf Course opened for play in April 1902. In 1945 the members could no longer support the needs of the course and sold it to Michigan Tech for the amount of one dollar. Since then many different improvements have been made such as the addition of another nine holes in 1969. Then in 1984 the new clubhouse was constructed in place of the original clubhouse. In 1996 a sprinkler system was installed to modernize the course and keep it playable. The Portage Lake Golf Course is located only a few miles from the Michigan Tech campus on US-41. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Campus of Michigan Technological University」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
