Mid Michigan College continues its commitment to providing an accessible, welcoming, engaging campus environment for students and community members. The 2023 Campus Master Plan reflects the College's focus on maintaining both campus locations, serving a diverse student population, and partnering with local organizations.

Master Plan Overview

The 2023 Campus Master Plan was developed through a multi-step process that allowed for a thorough review of the College's facilities' current state, a comprehensive discovery phase, and then the development of the plan itself, which has resulted in a vision for the future of Mid's campus locations. 

In March of 2023, Mid Michigan College contracted Hobbs+Black to lead stakeholders through this process. Feedback from students, faculty, staff, and community members was gathered through input sessions and surveys. This feedback was then analyzed, paired with demographic and enrollment data, and compiled into a document featuring a wide range of projects that the College could prioritize and pursue over time. 

Additional feedback was then gathered to prioritize projects for the first phase of investment and projects were evaluated based on input from stakeholders, alignment with the current strategic plan, return on investment, and the impact projects would have on the College and the communities served by Mid. The projects selected are profiled below and have been approved by the Board of Trustees to move forward into the planning stage.
