For the first time, the West Shore Community College Board of Trustees held its monthly meeting at Manistee High School. Tom Matheson of the Tower Pink Star Titus Association provided the board with an update on the master plan for the facility.
The primary goal of this plan was to identify the campus needs that students, faculty, and staff were most concerned about. In addition to the library, tutoring, testing, computer labs, WSCC’s bookstore, student lounge and other student services will be provided in the new 43,000-square-foot student learning center, which will cost more than $7 million to construct. It’s planned.
