Best in the NBA, Best in Building
The Construction Association of Michigan is excited to announce its 2020 Project of the Year: The Henry Ford Detroit Pistons Performance Center. The name denotes a shining constellation of three buildings: the Pistons facility houses the biggest and the best training facility in the NBA, along with the franchise’s corporate headquarters, making it the first in the NBA with the entire organization under one roof; Henry Ford Health System’s William Clay Ford Center for Athletic Medicine that services the Pistons, as well as athletes of all levels and serious fitness buffs, with second-to-none sports medicine and technologies; and lastly, a parking garage nestled between the two structures.
The following pages tell the success story of this striking facility with an inclusive, community-minded mission dedicated not only to welcoming the public into the Henry Ford Detroit Pistons Performance Center via retail spaces and a soon-to-be-developed fitness space, but also inviting smaller Detroit contractors to be part of its own bustling jobsite during construction via a mentoring protégé program. Each section is a chapter of this success story told from the perspective of the all-star team of owners, designers and contractors whose vision and talents brought this building to life and added a new vibrancy to an area of Detroit between New Center and Wayne State University. Congratulations to the Detroit Pistons, the Henry Ford Health System, ROSSETTI, Hobbs + Black Architects, and the Christman-Brinker joint venture formed of The Christman Company and the L.S. Brinker Company.
