Oakland U. planning $65 million expansion
AUBURN HILLS (AP) -- Oakland University is planning a $65 million campus expansion in 2014.
The Oakland Press of Pontiac reports the project detailed Tuesday includes the addition of a $30 million, 500-student housing complex, a new 1,240-car parking structure, an expanded student center and more recreation and athletic fields
The majority of the expansion will be on the portion of the campus that is in Auburn Hills.
Approval of the new facilities comes soon after the completion of construction of Oakland University's Human Health Building last fall, groundbreaking for an engineering center in October and recent approval of plans for a 151-foot carillon tower.
Student enrollment has increased at the campus by 37 percent over the past 15 years.
