Housing

Whether it’s music, art, food or biking, Detroit has it down. CCS is in the heart of mid-town and living here puts you at the heart of creativity. Become a part of it. Artists and designers, young professionals, local community organizers and entrepreneurs 
of all backgrounds are creating the next Detroit.

Live in the heart of a vibrant and socially minded culture where the opportunity to collaborate with an international community is helping the resurgence of our multifaceted city.

The Taubman Center offers high ceiling, loft-style furnished rooms with one private bath. Each room is approximately 500 square feet and accommodates three to four people. The Taubman Center is built on the philosophy of community, so just outside the student’s living quarters are workspaces, fitness rooms and lounge areas for students to interact. Each floor also houses a laundry room. Continuing with the theme of community, a full-service dining area is just a few floors below. Most first-year students are placed in the Taubman Center to foster collaboration with peers in their class, enhanding their overall learning experience.
