The old Macomb County Library building on Hall Road has reopened as the Wayne State University Macomb Education Center.

Wayne State took over the 29,000-square-foot building last year and invested $3.4 million into breathing new life into the circa-1979 structure. Today it primarily hosts classes for Wayne State students, but it also houses the Macomb County's Reference and Research Center.

"The building is beautiful," says Sandy Casamer, manager of the Macomb County's Reference and Research Center.

Renovations include new paint, carpet, light fixtures, restrooms, and a new layout to the single-story building at 16480 Hall Road. The Reference and Research Center offers 75 databases to the public, as well as access to databases from Wayne State University. It also maintains a 2,000-volume reference collection, Wi-Fi, and 12 internet terminals for public use. Databases are accessible through its new Web address.
