The General Motors Renaissance Center Café is a reinvention of original food court gathering space on the lower level of the Renaissance Center podium area. It features seating options, collaboration space, rentable areas, energy saving LED lighting, updated technology, and modern finishes. It compliments the General Motors Headquarters, which sits immediately adjacent to the Café and was completed by Turner a year earlier.
The existing restaurants remained open for patrons while Turner renovated all seating areas and front restaurant counters. Much of the work took place during off shift hours to minimize tenant disruption and maximize safety. Temporary walls with dust control kept work areas safely segregated from the nearly 10,000 people who travel within the Renaissance Center building each day.
