EXPERIENCE
MICHIGAN MOTION PICTURE STUDIOS (FORMER GENERAL MOTORS ENGINEERING CENTER) Pontiac, Michigan The first full-service, built-for-production facility in Michigan, Raleigh Michigan Motion Picture Studios is the most up-to-date studio of its kind in America and represents an exceptional re-use of land and office space that was once the site of Truck Product Center-East at the General Motors Centerpoint business campus. Designed to accommodate television, movie and postproduction work, the 225,000 square-foot studio also serves as an education training center for film industry trades. Teamed with designer Harley Ellis Deveraux, Walbridge led the design-build efforts and conducted value analysis and value engineering sessions. These efforts trimmed more than $10 million from the budget and allowed construction to begin early.
