Michigan Islamic Academy plans to double space in Ann Arbor with expansion
The Michigan Islamic Academy is making plans to double down on Ann Arbor by doubling the size of its Pre-K through 12 school.The school has been on Plymouth Road on the city’s northeast side since 1987. It now has about 10,000 square feet of classrooms and a temporary trailer there for its school of 204 students.The new plans call for building a 10,000-square-foot addition that will stand three stories tall. It will have space for eight classrooms and a cafeteria. The current school only has eight classrooms. “The new expansion is going to concentrate and put everyone under one roof so we don’t have to use any temporary facilities,” says Tarek Nahlawi, the program manager for the Michigan Islamic Academy.The $1.5 million project is still in the planning stages and has yet to go before the city’s Planning Commission. Nahlawi hopes to begin work this summer and wrap it up within nine months.Source: Tarek Nahlawi, the program manager for the Michigan Islamic AcademyWriter: Jon Zemke
