EGCC will offer classes at its new Warren center in Jan.

WARREN — Eastern Gateway Community College plans to begin offering classes Jan. 12 at its new Warren Center with hopes to double the enrollment at that facility by next fall.

The college has been offering classes at the Atrium Building on Market Street for the last few years as well as a few courses at Trumbull Career and Technical Center in Champion.

Higher Education Partner-EGCC Ohio LLC, a partnership between the college and the private company, recently finalized the purchase of the former Mickey’s Army Navy Store on Main Street. The building was owned by Marty Cohen. HEP also is the college’s partner in the operation of the Valley Center in Youngstown.

The Warren Center will open with four classrooms with plans for a bookstore and student lounge later in the year.
