Scope Of Work
Michigan Veterans Foundation (MVF), a non-profit organization, needed to relocate their facilities quickly when Olympia Development purchased their headquarters in the city’s Cass Corridor to make way for the state-of-the-art Little Caesars Arena and Wayne State University business school.
The MVF quickly purchased a triangular group of properties totaling 5.5 acres, from the Detroit Public Schools which required rezoning.
The project consisted of a 46,000-square-foot, ground-up construction. The one-story facility was designed in a pentagon-shaped design. Programming included 124 single occupancy rooms; squad rooms, which house four veterans per room; a full-service kitchen and mess hall, with the ability to be transformed into a banquet hall for weddings and events; other spaces such as a computer lab, library, chapel, and museum.
