Today marks a big step in BMCC history! Demolition of the log cabin library has begun to make way for the new Allied Health facility, which will contain a new library on the main floor.

We know many of you loved this building as much as we did. As we move forward, we fondly remember all the memories made in this building with our staff, faculty, students, student-workers, and community members.

Along with being a library, this building has hosted a lot of different spaces and events throughout the years. It has held a museum, BMCC classrooms, faculty offices, a GED site, and community events like story-times and continuing education. (It also had a reputation for being a great nap spot!)

If you’ve been part of any of these in the last twenty-five years, we’re so thankful.

The library is still here on campus in our temporary space (Mikanuk room 119), but we can’t wait to start making memories in the new building next year! We’ll keep posting updates along the way and we’re excited to bring you all along with us! ❤️📚

Our new location will be located on the first floor of the new Allied Health Facility! We are eagerly awaiting the start of construction this spring!

BIG NEWS! 👉 Bay Mills Community College is proud to announce the development of our cutting-edge Allied Health Facility!

Starting in May 2026, we will be constructing a 36,000 square-foot space on our main campus that is designed to train and empower the next generation of healthcare professionals with the tools they need to succeed and support quality local health care.

Imagine training in a high-tech simulation lab that feels just like a real hospital, or grabbing a bite in a brand-new cafeteria overlooking Lake Superior between classes. That future is just around the corner, with an expected opening in Fall 2027!

This photo is a stunning projection of what's to come - and is where dreams and careers will take flight.

We had a very exciting visitor last week!

Mittens has been traveling around Michigan to celebrate the 20th anniversary of MelCat! Our favorite fish, Gilly Gnoozhe, stopped by to welcome Mittens to BMCC. Gilly made sure to show Mittens the best view on campus - his home, Gichi-gami. 🌊❤️

Although our library is currently downsized into a temporary space, Mittens was impressed with how much we were able to squeeze in! Before he headed out to another amazing Michigan library, he got to peek at the plans for the new building and is excited for all our big changes. 📚

Chi miigwech for stopping by Mittens! We’re so happy to celebrate MelCat and all its amazing resources with you! Safe travels!

We're on our summer hours now, Monday - Friday, 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM.

As a reminder for those who haven't been to see us in a while, we are no longer located in our log cabin in anticipation of future construction. You can find us in the Mikanuk room 119! (This is the classroom building in the middle of campus.)

As always, we are open to the public - not just students or tribal members. We offer access to print and electronic collections, public computer use, print/fax/copy/scan services, and inter-library loan.

Stop in and see us some time! 📚❤️
