metromode, 3/26/2009

Another $4 million is going into upgrades for three of the campuses for Oakland Community College.

The college plans to do repairs and renovations at its Royal Oak, Auburn Hills, and Highland Lakes campuses. These projects range from making the campuses more pedestrian-friendly to routine repairs to the existing buildings.

The Royal Oak campus will get the most money, $1.5 million, to build vestibule entrances to the building's four exterior doors. Some of the money will also go towards improving exterior lighting and surrounding landscaping.

About $1.2 million will make the Auburn Hills campus more walkable by replacing some sidewalks and adding lighted walkways. Another $1.2 million will be used to make the Highland Lakes campus friendlier to cars by repaving parking lots and streets.
