CCS to open second campus in New Center

The College for Creative Studies will open a second campus in the historic Argonaut Building in Detroit's New Center in 2009.

Excerpt:

CCS will occupy approximately 70 percent of the 11-story Albert Kahn-designed Argonaut Building. Its design-based majors -- Transportation, Product, Interior, Graphic and Advertising -- and its Master of Fine Arts degree programs in Design and in Transportation Design, which will launch in 2009, will be housed in the facility.

The New Center site will also be home to CCS’s Community Arts Partnerships program, its Continuing Education department, 300 beds of student housing, a conference center with a 400-seat auditorium and a 360-seat dining hall.

CCS is partnering with the Thompson Educational Foundation and Henry Ford Learning Institute to operate the middle and high school. "Creativity will be built into the curricula of the schools along with the standard curricula," says Rogers. "The college and the school are going to interact in a number of ways." For example, CCS art education students will be able to do their student teaching in the lower schools.
