A glazed building by Kohn Pedersen Fox that swoops upward on one side has been revealed for a proposed tech campus in Detroit, Michigan.
Announced last fall, the campus for the Detroit Center for Innovation will encompass 14 acres (5.6 hectares) on the eastern edge of Detroit's downtown district.
Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF) has designed a building that will rise on the former site of the city's Wayne County Jail that was demolished last year.
The centre is intended to be "a new gateway to Detroit's burgeoning downtown," said the architecture firm, which is headquartered in New York City.

Construction is expected to begin in 2021 on the campus, where students and faculty will be joined with entrepreneurs and business leaders. Comparisons have been drawn to the Cornell Tech campus in New York City. "The centre will build on Detroit's growing presence as a centre for innovation, providing local businesses a pipeline of talent and offering opportunities for current workers to further their skills in a world of fast-paced technological change," the team said.
A focal point of the campus will be an academic facility designed by KPF, and run by the University of Michigan.

The facility is expected to serve up to 1,000 students pursuing degrees in fields such as artificial intelligence, data science and cybersecurity.
Encompassing 190,000 square feet (17,652 square metres), the multi-storey building will be constructed on the corner of Gratiot Avenue and I-375.
