$11 Million LCC Expansion Creates New Center with Old Carnegie Library

Lansing Community College (LCC) is putting the final touches on an $11 million renovation that connects the Old Carnegie Library with a modern, brand new University Center.

The new 40,478 square foot University Center, which includes the Carnegie Library, will act as a home base for universities from all over the state that want to offer LCC students bachelor’s and master’s degrees. Visiting professors will have their own administrative space in the new building.

The new building also has computer labs, laptops, observation classrooms, a student lounge and seminar rooms.

“We have different configurations to try and provide the best space for different types of learning,” Stephanie Shanblatt of LCC says about the new building.

Located at the intersection of Capitol Avenue and Shiawassee Street, the facility will host its first students in January.
