DETROIT, Aug. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Comerica Bank held a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Tuesday, Aug. 20, to celebrate the opening of its state-of-the-art collaboration and operations campus in Farmington Hills, Michigan.
Home to approximately 2,000 colleagues, Comerica's Great Lakes Campus (GLC) serves as the bank's largest operations center providing comprehensive coverage nationwide.
Comerica executives, project partners, local dignitaries and community partners attended the special ceremony in the campus' newly-constructed 21,000 square-foot Connector that joins the existing East and West buildings.
"As we are guided by our storied legacy of helping our customers and communities succeed, we also have a bold vision for our future," said Megan Crespi, Comerica Bank Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. "Our new campus in Farmington Hills builds on our core value of 'The Bigger Possible' as it is designed to invest qualitatively and strategically into our customers, colleagues and community."
The 340,000-square foot office complex first opened to colleagues in March 2024, with construction of the entire campus completed in July.
The vibrant, high-energy and inspiring campus offers collaborative workspaces colleagues want to work in and customers want to visit both now and in the future. Advanced technology, amenities and ergonomic workstations are helping transform the campus into a destination of choice.
Comerica's Great Lakes Campus functions as a micro-community, with each floor strategically designed with thoughtful color schemes and wall inscriptions to reflect Comerica's core values and rich history as Michigan's longest-standing bank.
The opening of GLC adds to the history of Comerica Bank, which celebrated the 175th anniversary of its founding on Aug. 17, and complements Comerica's Michigan Market Headquarters in downtown Detroit.
