New Culinary Institute
New Home to Award-winning Culinary Studies Institute Coming 2025
We have broken ground on a 78,000 square foot addition that will house OCC’s award-winning Culinary Studies Institute. The estimated $74 million, three-story addition housed on our Royal Oak campus will feature three classrooms, two demonstration kitchens and five teaching kitchens providing students with the most up-to-date culinary learning facility in Southeast Michigan.
The new facility will also feature a 2,600 square-foot restaurant on the third floor with a sloping ceiling, large glass windows and 360-degree views of downtown Royal Oak, known for its hospitality, cuisine and vibrant culture. The restaurant will offer the community a new dining option where culinary students will prepare and serve fine-dining recipes as part of their training.
