About Sneden Hall / FAQ

In June 2009, GRCC purchased the facilities in Grand Rapids’ Historic Heritage Hill District formerly occupied by Davenport University. This allows GRCC to add much needed space within a 10-minute walk of their downtown location. Sneden Hall is GRCC’s main classroom building at the new site, and approximately 75 classes are scheduled there, Monday through Thursday between 8 AM and 5 PM for Fall semester. There are some Davenport offices and staff that will continue to occupy some of the spaces through June 2010, at which time GRCC will make permanent moves.
