ANN ARBOR, Mich., June 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WCC has added a new grant-funded Mobile Classroom to provide flexible, accessible learning experiences throughout Washtenaw County and the Southeast Michigan region.
Designed to meet students where they are – in neighborhoods, schools, community centers, workplaces and partner locations – the 48-foot-long unit is designed to deliver a full classroom experience.
The approximately 1,000 square feet of space is built for instruction, demonstrations, presentations and community engagements. It can seat up to 20 students in a traditional classroom or lecture-style setting or be reconfigured to host a variety of events and interactive showcases. The temperature-controlled unit also features state-of-the-art equipment and wireless internet.
“The Mobile Classroom brings WCC directly into the communities we serve, creating new opportunities for people to explore education, workforce training and career pathways close to home,” said WCC President Dr. Rose B. Bellanca. “By meeting students where they are, we’re expanding access, removing barriers and strengthening our connection to communities throughout Washtenaw County.”
Two grant sources funded the project:
- M-STAR (Michigan Semiconductor Talent and Technology for Automotive Research)
- Detroit Drives Degrees Community College Collaborative (D3C3)
The WCC Mobile Classroom is currently booked for 14 events through September, including community festivals and gatherings where people can find out more about WCC and its offerings, apply for enrollment, or participate in lectures and hands-on learning opportunities.
