NMC Renames West Hall Innovation Center To Honor Former President Nelson
By Beth Milligan | July 27, 2021
The Northwestern Michigan College board of trustees voted unanimously Monday to rename the West Hall Innovation Center after the college's longest serving president.
The recently renovated $14 million building, which was transformed into a 54,000-square-foot, multi-story library and flexible learning space, will now be called the Timothy J. Nelson Innovation Center. Board members cited Nelson's decades of service to NMC students, the college, and the community in naming the center after him.
The building also houses Campus Safety & Security, Dining Services including the Hawk Owl Cafe and Northwest Grind, Educational Media Technologies, the Technology Help Desk, and the WNMC 90.7 FM college radio station. It opened in the summer of 2020 for the fall 2020 semester.
