The college will be reopening in July 2012 and will operate from two Detroit locations.  The Detroit Institute of Technology is completely rebuilding a former YMCA on Detroit's rast side.  In addition to classrooms, labs, offices and a library.  This facility which is 5 storiestall, will include an olympic size swimming pool, a complete fitness center, and a complete gym.  Additionally, there will be a computer center, student housing and guest housing.  The Y will partner in operatingthe pool, fitness center and gym.  The D I T has re established an active relationship with the YMCA, who also now sit on The Board.  The D I T as founded in 1883 by the YMCA and Henry Ford I.  Also, the Ford tradition shall be revived at the new D I T.  William Clay Ford is now on The Board. The Ford Motor Company, The Ford Fund and The Ford Foundation are all involved in the new D I T. The D I T will also establish a center in the former State of Michigan Executive Plaza in downtown Detroit. This facility will be the headquarters and will have offices, classrooms, labs, a computer center and library, a world class restaurant and other amenities. The school is starting this summer 2012 to construct an all new campus on the Detroit River in downtown Detroit. This site was selected because a 1966 article in The Detroit Free Press said that he school was going to construct a new campus right there. The new campus will include 4 15 story towers and several lower buildings. Two of the towers are already being named for well known Americans who donated the principle amount of the financing for the tower that is being named after them. The new campud will open in late 2013. After the opening, the State of Michigan complex downtown will be closed. The Eastside Center will remain open as a continuing education cneter and all the amenaties there will remain in operation and possibly be expanded. The detroitInstitute of Technology can be reached at 313-823-5000. Dennis Archer, former Detroit Mayor, is a D I T alumni and is working hand in hand to get the new D I T up and running."
