Grand Rapids Community College Lakeshore Campus

Grand Rapids Community College (GRCC) has been offering classes on the Lakeshore, spanning four locations, for more than 20 years. The new Lakeshore Campus consolidated resources and programs in the heart of Holland Township, providing convenient access to public transportation, employers and student services.

The 52,000 s.f. facility comprises nine classrooms, four computer labs and five unique labs for biology, chemistry, electronics, automation, welding, and machine tooling, accommodating programs for students pursuing associate degrees or career-focused certificates.

Additionally, the campus includes spaces for advising, counseling and other student support services, along with a satellite library and areas for community use. The vast interior space was not only converted into labs and classrooms, but the exterior of the building was completely transformed, establishing a modern, welcoming presence while salvaging as much of the existing structure as possible to maintain the project within budget.
