Just as
Oakland University
is swallowing up its construction projects this summer, the Rochester Hills-based college is preparing to bite off another big expansion eastward.
OU is opening up a satellite campus in Macomb County. The new Oakland-Macomb campus will offer classes in health care, education, international business, engineering and communications arts
While the new campus is based out of the headquarters
that is still being determed
, classes will be held throughout the county at various facilities at
Macomb Community College
, the
Macomb University Center
and the
Macomb Intermediate School District
. OU aims to have 2,000 students at the campus by 2010 and 5,000 by 2020.
OU also recently finished extensive work on a number of construction projects on the college's 1,500-acre campus. The $3 million in work ranged from upgrading 40-year-old labs and classrooms to repairing roofs, elevators and sidewalks.
Another $2 million in improvements is scheduled for this fall.
