Our Investors
In addition to a multi-million dollar investment made by OCC, Oakland County
and the State of Michigan, the following businesses have made significant contributions
to making CREST a reality:
- The Auch Company was founded by George W. Auch in 1908 as a family
partnership specializing in the construction of fine homes and churches in
and around the City of Detroit, some of which have since been designated as
architectural landmarks. Over the years, Auch expanded to include commercial
construction and has since become widely recognized in southeast Michigan
for expertise in the construction of health care, commercial and institutional
facilities. Headquartered in Pontiac, Auch was recently listed by Crain’s
Detroit Business as one of the top ten contractors in southeastern Michigan.
It has been the college’s contractor on a number of large-and small-scale
renovation and building projects over the years, most recently, the CREST
project.
- Consumers Energy Foundation is the philanthropic arm of Consumers
Energy. Its mission is to fund projects that strengthen people,
families and communities through education, social welfare, culture and the
arts, community and civic activities, economic growth and environmental enhancement.
In 2001, Foundation grants funded nearly 1,100 projects.

is a wholly owned subsidiary of ABN AMRO North America, Inc., the tenth largest

for many years. It is headquartered in Troy and offers a complete range
of retail and commercial products through its network of 270 branches in Michigan
