Michigan State University will expand its presence in Southeast Michigan this fall, establishing Community Music School Detroit with classes for area youths and adults and a new headquarters for College of Education teaching interns and programs in Detroit schools.

MSU signed a seven-year, $490,000 lease at 3408 Woodward Ave.( pictured) and will be the only occupant of the 22,000-square-foot building. The facility also will house offices for admissions, advancement and governmental affairs, and will provide some space for faculty research in Detroit.

MSU President Lou Anna K. Simon said Southeast Michigan has always been important to MSU and that the new facility represents a new level of engagement.
