The former Western Michigan University building at Lake Michigan College is now the Edward J. Todd Center.

A dedication for the recently-acquired building was held last week. The building will house several college programs.

“Western Michigan had set up a classroom for education and so upstairs we have a classroom with an observation room, so it really fits our education department well to utilize that space as it’s designed,” said LMC President Dr. Trevor Kubatzke. “Business and marketing and accounting will all be over here along with criminal justice and information technology.”

Kubatzke tells us the Todd Center has been owned by the college since June. Lake Michigan College moved to secure the lease for the WMU building from the state last year at a cost of $2.7 million. It’s now named for Edward J. Todd, a longtime LMC supporter who donated for upgraded business classrooms at the college. Kubatzke tells us WMU will still hold the same programs there, but this gives LMC a place to expand some of its own programs.
