Clinton Valley Center

Clinton Valley Center

The Clinton Valley Center (CVC), located in Pontiac, Michigan, was the second oldest psychiatric hospital in Michigan. CVC, originally named the Eastern Michigan Asylum for the Insane, opened its doors on August 1, 1878. In 1911, the hospital changed its name to Pontiac State Hospital and was renamed the Clinton Valley Center in 1973. During the 1950s, approximately 3,100 patients resided at the Clinton Valley Center. The facility was closed in 1997 by the State of Michigan and demolished in 2000. The building resembled a typical Kirkbride model and was designed by Elijah E. Myers, who also served as the architect for the current Michigan State Capitol in Lansing.

A subdivision now stands on the site of the old hospital.
