WSU president Irvin Reid says he wants to add a $26 million engineering development center to WSU's Detroit campus in the next five years. Reid said he could envision the research center working on everything from cancer diagnosis and treatment to detection of environmental hazards.

He adds, however, that more room is needed. The projects are designed to accommodate a student body that is expected to grow through the remainder of this decade.

Also planned, according to Reid, are a new business school and a medical education center at Wayne State's medical school at the Detroit Medical Center.
