I just drove by Marygrove the other day, the first time in forever. Was really struck by going down 6 Mile that suddenly you come up on Marygrove and not just its gorgeous buildings but also the giant gorgeous trees all around. I hope it can remain a big asset to that community.

Was really struck by going down 6 Mile that suddenly you come up on Marygrove and not just its gorgeous buildings but also the giant gorgeous trees all around. I hope it can remain a big asset to that community. Yes, it has always been a beautiful campus and setting. When I went to U-D back in the 1970s, there was a consortium arrangement in place that allowed students a fairly easy way to take classes at other metro Catholic colleges in program areas not offered on your home campus. I took an introduction to art class at Marygrove under that program. U-D and Marygrove also had a joint theatre program at the time, and performances were held at the Mg campus, they have a very nice wood paneled auditorium for that. I often wondered if there was a way to consolidate the Marygrove campus (and perhaps some of its programs not offered by UDM) under the University of Detroit Mercy umbrella when it folded. If such a consolidation came with all the Kresge Foundation money being spent, I think it would have been feasible. Marygrove’s strength was its elementary, secondary, and special education programs, all dropped by UDM at just about the same time Marygrove ceased functioning as a traditional college institution. In any event, it appears the property is in good hands now and serving community needs, something that is integral to the health of the University District/Liv6 neighborhood.

From the Detroit News: “'Transformational' public spaces planned for Wayne County in $150M spend” www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/wayne-county/2023/04/07/transformational-public-spaces-planned-for-wayne-county-in-150m-spend/70092012007/Reports that the Marygrove Community Association of Detroit will receive up to $47,500 to turn three vacant parcels into public park land. The funds will be used for finishing the redevelopment of three formerly vacant lots on the east side of Kentucky Street between Florence Street and Puritan Avenue undertaken by the Association in 2021. Improvements will include benches, trash and recycling receptacles, bike racks and more. Previously, development of the new park had been made possible by support from the Detroit Collaborative Design Center (DCDC) at the Detroit Mercy School of Architecture.
