The Book Depository has officially reopened. I must say, I'm really impressed with the final product and can't wait to see what the Train Station will look like when it opens.









Look inside: Book Depository building at Michigan Central open after years of renovations

Ford Motor Co. has officially reopened the 260,000-square-foot building at 2231 Dalzelle across from Michigan Central Station following a four-year renovation process.

Originally opened as a post office, its proximity to the train depot allowed the two buildings to be connected via an underground tunnel, allowing for convenient mail transport (yes, the tunnel is big enough to fit a car).



They are now connected even more than physically now.

Now it will serve as Newlab's Detroit headquarters and its Mobility Studio, becoming "a center of gravity for innovation" between the renovated depot, expected to open by the end of the year, and the broader Ford campus in Corktown, a press release says.



There had been some deliberation early on about whether to tear down the building, said Joshua Sirefman, CEO of Michigan Central, Ford's official name for the autonomous and electric vehicle campus.
