[edit] Main campus

Built in 1964, it is located on the outskirts of the city limits of Monroe, Michigan. It is located off of M-50, which provides easy access for all surrounding areas of the county. The most recently built building is the performing arts building, the La-Z-Boy Center. It was so named for the donation that the La-Z-Boy Corporation (whose world headquarters are in Monroe) donated to MCCC. Currently the main campus encompasses 210 acres and seven classroom buildings:

• Audrey M. Warrick Student Services/Administration Building (A-building): student services, registrars office, cafeteria, recreation room (known as "The Cellar").
• Campbell Learning Resources Center (C-building): library, humanities division, career center
• East Technology Building (E-building): drafting, ceramics, computer technologies, electronics

[edit] Whitman Center

The Whitman Center was built in Temperance, Michigan in 1991. It is located further south in Monroe County to provide access to residents in the southern portion of the county and Toledo, Ohio. It offers the same services as the main campus but in a location suitable to those who live further away from the main campus. The Whitman Center was named for a nearby Ford dealership, Whitman Ford, which donated a substantial amount of money for the creation of the complex, which consists of one building.
