Lakeland University in Plymouth, Wis., plans to open location in Sheboygan
March 8, 2022
The university plans to open Jake’s, a Lakeland Community, a space that combines Lakeland’s Cooperative Education program with university intellectual resources.
The university says in a news release that the space will become Jake’s, a Lakeland Community and will serve as a collaborative “Communiversity” that combines Lakeland’s Cooperative Education program with university intellectual resources.
In addition to expanded programing, Jake’s will continue to host creative communities and startups.
A Lakeland shuttle will provide free transportation from the main campus in Plymouth to the university's downtown Sheboygan location.
One of the goals for Jake’s is to create a space to encourage entrepreneurship and innovation.
Funding for the acquisition has been donated by Herbert V. Kohler, Jr. on behalf of Kohler Co. and by Richard and Kristin (Jacobson) Bemis.
