South Haven, Niles campuses make upgrades

Lake Michigan College continues to upgrade its regional campuses in Niles and South Haven.

LMC is converting classroom space to offer Medical Assisting courses at the Niles campus. Medical Assisting classes are currently only offered at the Benton Harbor location. The renovation will allow Medical Assisting courses to be provided in Niles as early as Spring 2022.

“We continue to expand program offerings to students in Niles and South Haven and are always looking for ways we can improve our campuses for students and the community as a whole,” LMC Director of Regional Campuses Jeremy Burleson said.

In South Haven, the community room has expanded from two to three classrooms. Improvements include new flooring, carpeting, and technology for community presentations and class events.

“We have had many groups use our community room in the past, but some organizations simply outgrew the space,” Burleson said. “With this expansion, we’ve already seen many of these groups request to use the new space this Fall.”

The Niles and South Haven campuses added new equipment in the Science and Allied Health classrooms, including smart projectors and smartboards. Other campus improvements include furniture upgrades and the re-paving of both parking lots.
