Clarkston Campus Renaissance is a project designed to bring new life and energy to the college through expansion and renovation. The collegiate architectural design will promote academic achievement and study in a campus-like environment. Pedestrian-friendly landscape and gathering spaces will encourage interaction among students and faculty. The new 78,470 sq. ft. academic building will include classrooms, computer labs, faculty offices and workrooms, and a 15,000 sq. ft. library/learning resources center. It is being constructed across the existing front of the campus on North Indian Creek Drive.
