General Motors has announced it will be investing $130 million in its Warren, Michigan Technical Campus. The investment, which will add 25 high-tech jobs, will transform the former administrative building into a state-of-the-art Information Technology Operations and Command Center.
Once complete the facility will contain IT laboratories and serve as a worldwide hub of GM’s digital applications. Given its high-tech nature, GM is using a modular design for the campus, allowing for future expansion.
“This new facility and other GM data centers around the world support the tools the company needs to design, build and sell the world’s best vehicles through digital applications enabling all business functions,” said Terry Kline, GM vice president and chief information officer.
GM says the new facility will help streamline its IT infrastructure, thereby reducing operating costs. The new tech center will also cut energy use by 40 percent, which should qualify the facility for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEEDS) certification by the U.S. Green Building Council.
The entire project is expected to be completed by 2015.
