TCF Center, Convention center in Downtown Detroit, United States.
TCF Center is a convention hall on the Detroit River in downtown. The complex stretches across two large levels with exhibit halls, meeting rooms, and event spaces facing the water.
The building opened in 1960 as Cobo Hall, named after then-mayor Albert Cobo. Rossetti Architects designed the structure with a modernist glass and concrete facade.
The North American International Auto Show returns every year as the biggest event in this convention hall. Thousands of professionals and car lovers walk through the exhibitor booths lining the halls each January.
The People Mover stops directly at the building, so visitors can arrive without a car. Digital wayfinding throughout the center helps with navigation between the different floors and event rooms.
The complex stands on the exact spot where Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac landed in 1701 to start the French settlement. Plaques in the lobby today mark these early beginnings of the city.
