Millender Center is the nearest People Mover station to the Coleman A. Young Municipal Center, Mariners' Church, the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel, the Wayne County Building, and Cadillac Square. A skybridge connects the Millender Center to an employees-only entrance to the Municipal Center; public access is only available from the street. A second skybridge connects to the Renaissance Center, which also has its own People Mover station.

Public art

Detroit New Morning, a tile mosaic created by Detroit-based painter Alvin Loving, Jr., spans the station lobby and the fifth floor of the Millender Center's atrium. Created at Pewabic Pottery, the work is composed of 5,000 tiles, and was painted with brooms.^[2]
