^ Thanks for that assessment. I think it's not such a bad thing that the commutes around West Michigan are so polycentric. There's a desirable quality of living to be found both in the big city (GR) and many of the outlying communities. Conversely, there's good employment opportunities in the MSA core but also on the periphery. The key is having the infrastructure to support it all.

The Health and Wellness Center is one of four new buildings being implemented as part of the college's current
master plan. The other three are the aforementioned $15 million Downtown Technology Center (opened last month), a $9.6 million Science Center (opened Summer 2015), and a $9 million arts and humanities facility (scheduled to open Summer 2019). All told, these four buildings represent almost $50 million in investments -
