Campus
The main campus was built in 1964 just west of Monroe, Michigan in Monroe Charter Township near the River Raisin. It is centrally located within Monroe County, and a number of major roadways provide easy access for students. There are seven classroom buildings on the campus, and the campus is continually expanding to meet the needs of a growing number of college students, especially for parking. The property of the main campus is 210 acres (85 ha). The newest buildings are the Health Building (1996) and the La-Z-Boy Center (2006) — the latter of which was so named since the La-Z-Boy company, whose headquarters are located in Monroe, donated money for the construction of the new building. Each of the buildings on the main campus are commonly referred to be a letter abbreviation.
In 1991, MCCC built the Whitman Center about 15 miles (24 km) south in Temperance, Bedford Township to better serve the growing population in the southern portion of the county, as well as providing a closer facility for those in Toledo, Ohio. The Whitman Center offers the same services as the main campus, such as offices and a bookstore, but with limited space and class offerings since the complex consists of only one building with eight classrooms and one computer lab. The complex was named after a nearby Ford dealership, Whitman Ford, which donated money for its construction.
