The Lansing Metal Center was a General Motors foundry located in Lansing Township, Michigan, directly across Saginaw Street from the Lansing Craft Center. It was originally built as a jet engine manufacturing plant in 1952 and shuttered in 2006.^[1]

Upon its closing, the plant was 1,590,000 square feet (148,000 m²) in size, and employed 1,200. General Motors began the demolition of the plant in February 2008 along with the Lansing Craft Center,^[2] when all operations were transferred to the nearby Lansing Delta Township facility.^[3]
