Michigan Central: Meet the Book Depository Designer
February 9, 2021
Next door to Michigan Central Station, sits the Albert Kahn-designed former Detroit Public School Book Depository. Global architect firm Gensler is reimaging this long-vacant building into the industrial center of Fordโs Michigan Central innovation district, with maker spaces, co-working areas, labs and mobility studios. Lily Diego, design director at Genslerโs Detroit office, chats with Amanda Lewan, co-founder and CEO of local co-working space Bamboo, about how her team will transform this art deco structure into a modern work environment that will foster innovation, connection and community.
