Several colleges at Michigan State University (MSU) have expanded to other regions in Michigan. Most recently, the College of Education signed a $490,000 lease on a 22,000 square foot building in downtown Detroit.
The move establishes the Community Music School Detroit and will provide classes for students in Detroit. The facility also will house offices for admissions, advancement and governmental affairs, and will provide some space for faculty research.
“Occupying this facility will lend a new, formal face to our investment in the region and will provide additional opportunities to deepen our connection with Detroit and the surrounding area,” says MSU President Lou Anna K. Simon.
Approximately 49 percent of MSU’s incoming freshman class comes from the three-county Southeast Michigan area. This will give those students and others better access to the College of Education.
The Detroit address is 3408 Woodward Ave.
