HOLLAND TWP. The Grand Rapids Community College Lakeshore Campus in Holland remains on track to host its first class later this year.
Construction of the consolidated campus, located in the former J.C. Penney location at 12335 James St. in the Shops at Westshore, continues and is expected to meet initial projections of a fall 2021 opening.
“We are all on track. We expect to be in here for fall 2021,” GRCC President Bill Pink said Tuesday, Feb. 16. “This facility, I think, will be one of the best higher ed institutional facilities in West Michigan when this is done.
“It truly will have a community college feel to it. Under one roof we’ll have classes that are liberal arts, English, math. Next to that class, biology and chemistry labs. Under that same roof, skilled trades with machining, welding, all those things.”
Two more local schools were added to the state’s School-Related Outbreak Report Monday.
Black River Public School and Zeeland’s Cityside Middle School were added in the Feb. 15 update, making seven consecutive weeks a local school was added.
The report defines an outbreak as two or more cases from different households that may have shared an exposure in the school setting. As has been the case with previous outbreaks locally, BRPS and Cityside had the minimum of two related cases to qualify as an outbreak.
Black River’s dashboard shows three cases reported in the past 28 days. In Zeeland s most recent update Thursday, three active cases were reported at Cityside.

Boston Celtics head coach Brad Stevens describes forward Semi Ojeleye as being very reliable. That’s why he turned to Ojeleye on Thursday night to fill in as a starter, marking only his second start of the season, and 11th of his four-year NBA career.
Ojeleye took full advantage of the opportunity. He led his team in scoring with a career-high 24 points, a result of hitting six 3-pointers. In the 120-106 Boston win over Toronto, Ojeleye played a season-high 30 minutes, and was extremely efficient with that time 8-of-12 shooting from the field (66.7 percent), 6-of-8 from 3-point range (75 percent), and 2-for-2 from the free-throw line.
