CCS Eyes Student Housing

DETROIT-The Center for Creative Studies, the city's premier art school, is considering a plan to add new student housing around the cultural center area.

DETROIT-A new dormitory may be in the works for the city’s art school. Growing enrollment has prompted the College for Creative Studies, located near the Detroit Institute of Arts in the city’s cultural district, to look at expanding its campus housing.

The 1,200-student college says it is attracting more students, particularly from Asia who are interested in the school’s industrial design degrees.

Students from Japan, Korea, China, Malaysia and Singapore are expected to account for 10% of the college’s enrollment in the next four to five years, up from 6% today, according to CCS president Richard L. Rogers. He says the college has a waiting list for on-campus housing. Now, some 265 students live on the small campus, but Rogers adds that the number could climb to 500 by 2008.
