The approximately 50,000-square-foot project is a $40 million campaign that was nearly 75% funded at the groundbreaking; the campus is scheduled to open in fall 2027.
Where the campus is being built
The new campus is at 234 Piquette Avenue, in Detroit’s Milwaukee Junction area. The century-old industrial property was formerly an automotive engineering facility. The project will adapt the building for broadcast, production, education and performance uses while retaining its industrial character.
Detroit PBS announced in April 2024 that it planned to move its headquarters back to Detroit and establish the campus at the Piquette Avenue site. The groundbreaking took place October 1, 2026.
How the $40 million project is funded
Detroit PBS’s October 2026 campaign update put the project at $40 million and said it was nearly 75% funded, according to the Michigan Association of Broadcasters. Wayne County committed $2 million.

The Fred and Barbara Erb Family Foundation’s $7.5 million challenge grant was met one year ahead of schedule. With the matching support, the challenge produced $15 million in combined funding.
The project’s budget had previously been reported at roughly $30 million. Axios reported in June 2026 that rising construction costs had brought it to $40 million. Axios also reported Detroit PBS membership increasing from about 68,000 to 81,000; those are figures from its June 2026 account, not audited current totals.
