De Carlo Visitor Center

A New Era at Meadow Brook

Meadow Brook Hall is a venue for business events, weddings and celebrationsIt is an exciting time to be part of the Meadow Brook community! The long-awaited De Carlo Visitor Center will soon become a reality. Construction on the new building began in winter 2024 and will be completed in fall 2024.

With functional, modern and necessary facilities, this project will transform and dramatically enhance the visitor experience for every person who walks through our gates.

It will open up new avenues to share our story and history with special gallery space, educational programs and event opportunities for the community. In short, it will elevate everything we do.

Meadow Brook’s team works closely with the architect and construction teams to ensure the construction process will be completed discreetly and with a minimal disruption to estate activities.

There will never be active construction during private evening events and none of our historic buildings, beautiful gardens or event spaces will be impacted. Guests who self-park during events may see construction in parking lot spaces. For events with valet services, no construction will be visible to guests.

The Meadow Brook community is fortunate to have many dedicated supporters whose generosity has taken this project from dream to actuality. We are very grateful to the people who have supported our new De Carlo Visitor Center.
