The Michigan Information Technology Center (MITC) is the home base for two of Michigan’s major internet players in what could become the region’s largest net research hub.  

 

Inside, the décor is bright and sleek – strikingly colorful in some places and subdued and futuristic in others.  But with nary a cord visible, the building is undoubtedly one of the most wired places in the city.  A patch-work of wireless networks are ricocheting internet signals across invisible byways.  Tenant spaces and the data center are separated off the atrium by varying levels of card access devices while visitors have access to conference and demonstration areas as well as the Michigan Internet Hall of Fame and an internet history museum.  The result of organizing the cores into concise groupings outside the lease space allows the initial interior layouts for tenants to be unhindered. This approach also allows endless possibilities for change.
