Meadow Brook Hall, the National Historic Landmark located on the campus of Oakland University in Rochester, has officially celebrated the opening of the De Carlo Visitor Center with a ribbon cutting ceremony.
The transformative new facility is the first new major construction on the Great Estate since the historic mansion was built 95 years ago.
It will provide modern amenities and versatile spaces for Meadow Brook to expand and enhance its vibrant collection of tours, events, educational programs and community experiences.
The De Carlo Visitor Center is a new standalone building located in a section of what was Meadow Brook’s visitor parking lot. No historic buildings or estate grounds were impacted by construction.
