Timeline

Construction is underway. The new campus will open to students in Spring 2023.

We’re now under construction in downtown Royal Oak!

Please pardon our noise and our dust. We value the people, businesses, and organizations who make up the communities in which we serve. And we’re #BakerProud to build our new, flagship campus right here in Royal Oak. We’re committed to being an excellent community partner and keeping you informed of any developments that may impact your routine and commute. We thank you in advance for your flexibility and cooperation!

Modern and sustainable design.

Our new campus, designed by Edge Design Associates, Inc., will establish itself as a visual landmark with the city of Royal Oak. The exterior features a brick and glass facade, allowing for lots of natural light. And our fourth-floor outdoor terrace will provide students with an uninterrupted view of the energetic downtown area. Inside, both students and faculty will enjoy modern classrooms and group study spaces outfitted with the right technology to enhance learning and collaboration. The entire building will feature sustainable materials equivalent to LEED-Silver.

BC is Michigan’s largest private, not-for-profit institution.

Student success, not profits, is our bottom line. As a not-for-profit institution, we make investments that help increase the value of our students’ education. Our efforts are not limited to just students, either. We actively seek opportunities to support the organizations and businesses impacting the local community. We realize that our success is shared—it depends on fostering reciprocal, lasting relationships in the communities in which we operate.

We can’t wait for you to see our new campus and for our staff and students to become a part of your beautiful community!
