BAE Systems completes Sterling Heights campus expansion project

BAE Systems opened the doors March 15 to its new engineering, program management and prototyping campus on Van Dyke just south of 15 Mile Road, marking the completion of its three-year expansion project in Sterling Heights.

"We've always believed that the Sterling Heights area was a great place to invest our resources in close proximity to our customers," said Frank Pope, president of the land and armaments sector at BAE Systems. "Here, we have a workforce of talent and experience unique to this region, individuals with skills born out of the world's leading automotive manufacturers. Adding to this advantage is the infrastructure and diverse pool of suppliers associated with the auto industry."

The expansion project began in February 2009 after the company invested $58.4 million to acquire the former TRW Automotive Holdings Corp. The campus occupies approximately 230,000 square feet, sits on 81 acres of land, and along with the new office building includes a prototype facility and renovated 0.4-mile test track.

The prototype facility opened in August 2010, and together with the office complex will serve as a premier center for the engineering, development and program management of military ground vehicles, such as Ground Combat Vehicle and Joint Light Tactical Vehicle.
