OMA / Jason Long Transforms Former Warehouse into Mixed-Use Arts and Community Venue in Detroit
OMA's New York office led by Jason Long revealed an adaptive reuse project in Detroit, transforming a former bakery and warehouse into mixed-use art, education and community space. Developed in collaboration with Library Street Collective, the project provides new headquarters for two local non-profits, PASC and Signal-Return, while creating a mix of artist studios, galleries, community-serving retail and gathering spaces. Dubbed “LANTERN”, the development is set to become an “activity condenser.”
