The Spring Hill facility will be similar in size to the first Ultium Cells plant, allowing Ultium Cells to double its battery production using an advanced and efficient battery cell manufacturing process. It will supply battery cells to GM’s Spring Hill manufacturing assembly plant, which will build Ultium-powered vehicles like the Cadillac LYRIQ. The mass-production of battery cells will contribute to GM’s vision for an all-electric, zero-emissions future.
The project’s entry plaza was designed to bring the expansive building down to human scale, creating a welcoming space as part of the site’s arrival sequence. Utilizing native plant species and trees to frame perspective, the design directs the focus toward the entryway while adding life to the space, supporting biodiversity and reducing long term maintenance costs. Boulders sourced from the property tie to the site’s history and direct movement along expansive sidewalks designed to accommodate today’s traffic while establishing a framework for future phases.
