UAW-Ford National Programs Center, International Style office building in Hart Plaza, Detroit, US
The UAW-Ford National Programs Center is a ten-story office building with marble-faced walls at Hart Plaza in Detroit. The square windows on each level are framed in marble, giving the structure a regular, organized appearance.
The structure was built in 1950 originally as a memorial building for veterans. In 1995 it transformed into a center for collaboration between Ford and the United Auto Workers through a lease agreement.
The building displays clean lines and geometric forms typical of its architectural style. This straightforward, linear design shapes the character of the Hart Plaza area.
The location sits centrally at Hart Plaza and is easy to reach, with ample parking nearby. Visitors should be prepared that this is an active workplace, so access rules may be limited.
The north wall features a 30 foot Eagle sculpture by artist Marshall Fredericks, a distinctive postwar artwork. Running along the roofline are 13 stars that hold historical meaning.
