Madison Center celebrates grand opening

More than 300 students, alumni, employees and friends checked out Lakeland College's new Madison Center during a grand opening on Wednesday.

The newly-completed $2 million facility is located at 1650 Pankratz Street and was developed by Rifken Group, Ltd. Wednesday's event featured tours and a ribbon cutting.

The 15,000-square-foot facility includes 10 technology-rich classrooms and two computer labs including one laptop classroom; a large student lounge for students to study and work in groups and Wi-Fi throughout the building.

The college will use the center extensively for all its students, and reach out to community organizations and United Church of Christ congregations to encourage them to use the facility.

In 1978, Lakeland developed an evening degree-completion program for working adults, the first in the state at that time. Classes have been offered in Madison since 1979. This academic year, Lakeland is celebrating the 150th anniversary of the founding of its main campus, which is located in Sheboygan County.

Today, the college serves 500 students in the Madison area through its evening, weekend and online program, and 2,800 students statewide. The college's total enrollment is approximately 3,800.

Lakeland students in Madison can earn a bachelor of arts degree in business management, communication, marketing, computer science, accounting, healthcare management, hospitality management and specialized administration (available to students with associate degrees in approved technical fields). Lakeland also offers a master of business administration and a master of arts in counseling.
