More specifics of a planned new campus building for Baker College in downtown Royal Oak that would alter the suburb's skyline are revealed in a pair of documents obtained by Crain's.

A request for proposals for construction managers verifies many of the details reported last month about the private college's efforts to construct a consolidated campus building in the busy downtown, including the planned site, which is the Kinsey-Garrett Funeral Home Inc. property at 420 S. Lafayette Ave. at West Fifth Street.

It says the building would be 80,000 square feet with about 80 parking structure spaces and cost an estimated $27.6 million between the building, parking and tenant improvements. In addition, a site plan submitted to the city by the development team last month shows a 96-foot building with one floor of underground and two floors of above-ground parking, outdoor terrace space, classrooms and offices across seven above-grade floors.

The RFP anticipates final site plan approval and building permit submission by April. Construction would begin in May with a temporary certificate of occupancy by June 2021 and classes beginning in the new building in August 2021.

While neither the RFP or the site plan submitted to Royal Oak say that Baker College is the user, the school's logo is emblazoned across a rendering of the building.
