Baker College Plans Metro Detroit Campus

Baker College, Michigan’s largest, private not-for-profit college, is building a metro Detroit campus in downtown Royal Oak. The planned 86,000-square-foot, seven-story Baker College Royal Oak campus will be designed to accommodate approximately 1,500 undergraduate and graduate students.
 
The $51-million project recently broke-ground, with students scheduled to arrive on-campus for the start of the 2022 academic year. It will incorporate flexible and connected classrooms, laboratories and interactive, collaborative study and gathering spaces for students, faculty and employees. 

“We have spent a great deal of time and effort on our journey to find the perfect new home for Baker College in Oakland County, and are confident that downtown Royal Oak offers everything we need, want and more,” said Jacqui Spicer, Baker College COO.
 
The project team partners include architecture firm Edge Design Associates of Ann Arbor, MI and Colasanti Construction Services Inc. of Macomb, MI.
