The Grand Valley State University Board of Trustees approved the
purchase of an office building in Detroit that will house offices and
support space for the university’s Charter School Office.
Grand Valley oversees 24 schools located in and around the city
of Detroit and currently provides professional development and
programming in rental property in the area. This purchase will allow
Grand Valley’s Charter Schools Office to maintain permanent office and
training space to support the charter schools it oversees in the
Detroit area.
The three-story office building on .26 acres is located at 163
Madison, across from Comerica Park. The university plans to purchase
the building from Waycor Development Company, which currently uses the
building for office space, for $3 million.
The building was built in 1908, and while it’s in good
condition, some remodeling will be needed to accommodate classrooms
and compliance with ADA and fire codes.
Grand Valley State University currently charters 43 school
buildings, serving nearly 23,000 students.
