Lansing Delta Township Assembly (LDT) is a General Motors automobile assembly factory in Delta Township, Michigan, on land that is shared by the township and the nearby city of Lansing. It manufactures GM's full-size crossover SUVs.

Completed in 2006, the factory measures 3,400,000 square feet (320,000 m2) in size, and employed 3,634 hourly workers and 262 salaried workers as of 2010.[2] The adjacent Lansing Regional Stamping employed 243 hourly workers, and 17 salary workers for a total of 4,156 workers in the factory complex.[2] Its workers are represented by UAW 602 and 652, respectively, and assumed operations of the former Lansing Metal Center and the Lansing Craft Centre when they closed.

"Green" factory

[edit]

Lansing Delta Township Assembly is a LEED gold-certified automobile plant.[3]

Environmental features of the factory include:

  • a 45% reduction in non-manufacturing water use, saving over 4,000,000 US gallons (15,000 m3) of water a year;
  • a roof drain system which catches rain water and diverts to cisterns stored above the factory's restrooms, which is then used to flush toilets;
  • having 25% of the plant's construction materials composed of recycled materials;
  • leaving 50% of the site undeveloped;
  • a 20% reduction in energy used for lighting the plant by lowering overall lighting in areas such as aisles; and
  • the elimination of ozone-depleting substances used in any of the building’s heating and cooling, refrigeration, and fire suppression systems.

The factory grounds also contain a 75-acre (30 ha) wildlife area managed by the factory's Wildlife Habitat Team, who also hosts wildlife educational events for local community groups and schools.
