Eberhard Center, downtown. The nine- story center will offer classes in computer science, engineering, education and business, among others. Enrollment is now being accepted for the Spring/Summer term. "Classes are already more than filled at night," said Provost for GVSU, Glenn Niemeyer. "The bulk of the classes at the new center will be offered at night from 6 to 9:00 p.m. There will not be a lot of classes run during the day and there will be a select few on Saturday.” Though the building boasts nine stories, only 25 rooms will be used as actual classrooms. The remainder of the building will be used for other purposes. One of these uses includes housing Grand Valley’s two television stations, WGVU channel 35 and WGVK channel 52, which (lop) The railroad bridge after being reconstructed.
