Pontiac West Assembly (also known as GMC Truck & Coach, GM Truck Validation Center and Pontiac Centerpoint Campus Validation Center) was a General Motors manufacturing facility located in Pontiac, Michigan. The manufacturing complex occupied an irregular 82-acre site bounded on the North side by Rapid Street, on the South side by South Boulevard W, on the East side by the Grand Trunk Western Railroad/Woodward Avenue (U.S. Route 24), and on the West side by Franklin Road.[1]
The complex included GMC Truck & Coach Plant 1, 3, 4 and 5, as well as numerous administrative and support buildings.
The last GM operations at the facility were closed, and the site completely demolished, in 2008.[2]
