Wayne State University is preparing to move staff and faculty into its new Mike Ilitch School of Business starting next week and finalizing parking plans with Olympia Development of Michigan.

The $59 million construction project to create a new home for the business school at Woodward Avenue and Temple Street near Little Caesars Arena in downtown Detroit is nearly complete and classes are expected to start there in the fall, spokesman Steve Townsend said.

Final touches such as landscaping, furniture and audio/visual equipment will be installed over the summer. Around 200 staff and faculty will be moving offices by June 15 to the new 120,000-square-foot building. It will likely serve about 2,500-3,000 of the business school's expected 4,000 students for fall enrollment, Townsend said. Some classes will remain at Wayne State's main campus about 1.5 miles to the north.

The business school sits just north of Little Caesars Arena and the recently announced DMC Sports Medicine Institute. It's within the Ilitch family's 50 block District Detroit development area north of the downtown Detroit core.

Olympia Development, the Ilitch family's real estate company, and Wayne State broke ground on the school in July 2016.

The two organizations are still working out parking details, Townsend said. But he expects students, faculty and staff to have parking options in close proximity to the school in Olympia Development lots or structures.

An Olympia representative didn't immediately respond to requests for comment. Townsend declined to comment further, but said an announcement would be made in the near future.

Shuttles will ferry students to and from Wayne State's main campus, where the business school is moving out of its current main base, the Prentis Building and Rands House. Those seeking Wayne State parking can also use its Parking Structure 7 at John R Road and Mack Avenue, which is about a half-mile walk from the new Mike Ilitch building. Townsend also suggests the QLine streetcar system or Detroit Department of Transportation buses.

Recent Olympia Development parking plans include 730 spaces at the planned Temple West project at Temple Street and Park Avenue — about a block from the Ilitch school. There are also several garages around Little Caesars Arena as well as surface lots.
