Henry Ford Health System Performance Center

This facility is a huge win - for the community, our franchise, our fans and our future.

It's the best training facility in the league and will give our players and coaches an edge in maximizing their performance.

Tom Gores, Owner, Detroit Pistons

The spaces we create for athletes don’t just impact their performance: they are representative of the franchise and community of fans that support the team. With a 185,000 square-foot facility, the Detroit Piston’s Henry Ford Health System Performance Center is now home to a state-of-the-art training facility with a comprehensive sports medicine, treatment and rehabilitation capabilities—all fully branded and designed with Piston pride in mind. Between graphics, signage, lighting and branded legacy displays, the entire facility was developed to align with the Piston’s vision for the future of their team. Each space was specifically created to address athlete development in a branded and cohesive environment.
