MUSKEGON, Mich. (AP) - Muskegon Community College has unveiled preliminary designs for its new Downtown Center that includes the former building of The Muskegon Chronicle.
The Chronicle (https://bit.ly/1EiQ6LO ) reports the downtown campus will encompass the newspaper’s former building as well as the neighboring former Masonic Temple building. College officials say the designs will be finalized in a few months.
The modern redesign would keep intact certain features of the buildings, including mahogany paneling and large windows in the former lobby of the newspaper building. Muskegon Community College is using $7.2 million in bond revenues on the Downtown Center.
The campus will house college programs such as machining, robotics and renewable energy, and will also have a performance space for the theater department. Eventually, about 1,000 students are expected to attend classes in the Downtown Center.
