Governors State University's leaving Kankakee Education Center in downtown Kankakee

In May 2006, Governors State University partnered with Kankakee Community College to open the "Kankakee Education Center" in downtown Kankakee. In order to bring affordable education to the Kankakee area, "GSU worked with Kankakee Community College to make the Center a reality," according to the GSU website.

The Kankakee Education Center is located at 187 S. Schuyler Avenue in the historic Clock Tower Centre.

Due to low enrollment, GSU announced it will not renew its lease in the building, as reported by the Daily Journal.
