Making Our Mark - Owens Community College

Campus Expansion
In August 2008, Owens Community College
purchased the former Penta campus. Throughout
the last year, planning has been underway on a
west campus master plan for expansion. Thanks to
the more than 27 acres of new land and buildings,
Owens will now be able to expand programming
and services. In addition to the hundreds of new
parking spaces, green space will be added creating
a more university feel to the Toledo-area Campus.
Traffic flow will be improved and the campus will
be more pedestrian friendly. More classrooms
will be available, freeing up room in College Hall
so that student services, such as the Office of the
Registrar and Bursar’s Office can be moved to
the same building as Enrollment Services and
Financial Aid. The recent acquisition will lead to
a better student experience and allow for muchneeded
expansion of wait-list programs.
