GRCC unveils Cook Academic Hall
Grand Rapids Community College renamed the former North Building in honor of Peter and Pat Cook, who recently donated $4 million to the institution. The contribution will be used to renovate building and modernize technology on campus.
According to excerpts from the story:
Cook, a former car distributor, gave the school more than $4 million as part of a new fundraising effort for the community college.
“I was greatly impressed that the students here are so dedicated to the school,” Cook said. “They appreciate the fact that they can come here at a much lower tuition than other schools.”
