GENERAL MOTORS TECH CENTER - MASTER PLAN
WARREN, MICHIGAN
The challenge for the future of General Motor’s Tech Center Campus is twofold: the consolidation of vehicle design and engineering into an integrated campus, and the extension of Eero Saarinen’s historic1950s design into a relevant and prescient workplace for GM’s next century of innovators. The Master Plan, developed in collaboration with KMD and Ove Arup & Partners, creates a clear organization of public perimeter and dual private interior spaces, each centered on lakes of equal size. The pedestrian Saarinen Mall links the two quads. The Master Plan seeks to restore the interrelation of nature and artifice in a vision that integrates 21st Century technology and campus amenities within a more sustainable environment.
