Trine’s Detroit Education Center celebrates new facility grand opening

Trine University’s Detroit Education Center celebrated its grand opening with an open house and ribbon-cutting ceremony on Aug. 22. Trine’s Vice President of Online and International Studies, Keirsten Eberts, spoke at the event, followed by the Allen Park Chamber Executive Director Jim Beri.

“This is an exciting day, as we stand in a space that not only symbolizes growth and progress but also reflects our commitment to providing exceptional educational opportunities for our students,” said Eberts.

“This facility is designed with our educational community in mind,” Eberts shared. The new facility has eight classrooms, a dedicated mother’s room, two meditation and prayer rooms, 20 offices to support their faculty and staff, and separate common areas for students and staff.

“This center is more than just a building; it’s a place where ideas will be born, knowledge will be shared, and lifelong connections will be made.”

Now located at 999 Republic Drive, Suite 100, Allen Park, the Detroit Education Center serves nearly 5,200 students. The new space will help accommodate the growing student population.

“At a time when higher education nationwide is facing significant challenges, we are incredibly fortunate to be experiencing such growth at Trine,” Eberts said proudly. “We look forward to the many achievements and successes that will come from this new chapter in Trine University’s story.”
