Wayne State University will soon open a third location in Macomb County that is expected to benefit students and businesses while further cementing its partnership with Macomb Community College. One Wednesday, officials will break ground on the school's $12 million Advanced Technology Education Center, which will offer four-year degrees in programs such as engineering, computer science, business and advanced manufacturing. The 40,000-square-foot facility will open in fall 2014 on East 12 Mile in Warren, across from the community college. The location is by design, said Ahmad M. Ezzeddine, WSU associate vice president, educational outreach and international programs. "We are strong partners," Ezzeddine said. "This is a major investment, close to the manufacturing companies that are there. It will provide an opportunity to support their needs, the needs of our county and to expand our partnership with Macomb Community College."
