Detroit Revamped!



The above slideshow features images of the College for Creative Studies. The college consists of two campuses, one located in Midtown and the other in New Center. The college roughly spent $145,000,000 renovating New Centers historic Argonaut building. In fall of 2009, the new campus (after being abandoned since 1999) opened as Taubmen Center for Design. Now a powerhouse for creativity, students can start their early elementary years in the Taubmen Center and continue through to their masters without having to leave the school.



The Taubmen Center isn't the only Detroit asset undergoing a facelift, this year $825,000,000 will be spent on five major projects.

The projects include:
71 Garfield - $6,000,000 (Completed)
Dequindre Cut Extension - $1,000,000 (Completed)
Detroit Medical Center Expansion - $800,000,000 (Construction)
Midtown Loop Greenway - $8,000,000 (Construction)
New Center Intermodal Station - $10,000,000 (Construction)

2009 Projects - $483,000,000

2007 Projects - $1,140,300,000
