  I found some renderings and site plans for the proposed lcc ramp and classroom building. They are from the Campus Master Plan.
  
  Outline of new classroom building to be 4 floors/70,000 sq ft, with a bridge over Shiwassee from the A&S building on floors 3 and 4.

  wow.. I'm really not liking the parking structure from Concept 1. It looks like the wall was used for target practice. yuck!

  I like concept 1, it's a poor rendering but it looks like the final design would be decent. It would also really create a nice dense feel on that block. I don't like concept 2 at all though. The retail barely faces any street, and the ramp is an odd shape.

  Parking or Power?
  
  Looks like LCC is moving forward with their parking ramp adjacent to the University Center. It's tentatively set for a Summer 2009 groundbreaking.

  City Council drafts new LCC ramp deal
  
  Now the Council comes back with a proposal that will add $100k to the sale price and save them about $160k on their lease. I can't beleive they held this up for only $260k out of the $3.7 million original sale price and some $5 million in rennovations LCC will do. The only explantion for the Council's actions is that they just want to show the Mayor who's "boss." How dumb...
  
  BTW, the city negotiated a $6 / sq ft lease rate for their space. If anyones getting screwed, its LCC, that space is at least worth $10-15 / sq ft and will be worth more after rennovations.

  LCC will be doing a major renovation on 505 N Capitol at the northwest corner of Capitol & Genesee: LCC plans veterans resource center
  
  The design is certainly interesting here, I'd like to see how it'll look in person. No real timeline is given on the project besides a June 30th, 2019 deadline to use state funds.

  There's a two floor office building at the northwest corner of Capitol & Genesee that LCC bought in 2012. It looks very different now:

  The drawing looks interesting, and seems to indicate a gallery included as part of the new Vets. facility. It is a good idea to include a public space in a college building [if that is what that is] to help make the campus a part of, not apart from the community. The present building is a nice mid century building and I have to say it has a more harmonious and balanced design than either the new Catholic Conference building on W. Lenawee or new design for this one. I do like having 21st century design downtown.
  
  The landscaping project is looking really nice and moving right along. Maybe LCC could take over the streets too and get them paved.

  My best guess is that maybe this will include some sort of student art gallery? I could definitely do without the current building, but this new design could easily turn out really good or really bad depending on workmanship and materials.
  
  LCC never did purchase the North Grand ramp, correct?

  The new landscaping seems to be finishing up, and it looks really nice around LCC. I really like the rolling lawn in front of the new student center. It is unusual in Lansing to see a project that is nicer than it has to be, as it seems like they put a lot of thought and planning into the landscape project, and it will make the campus into a forest campus, a beautiful place to visit and study.
