I worked in the Research & Scientific building on the gas turbine project and recip engines. From there, I spent some years in the Emission lab, then did a spell in the engine garage and finally in Design Aid doing prototyping.
Currently, the company is spending a billion dollars completely rebuilding the center by tearing down and rebuilding many buildings. The wind tunnels and cold room are gone, as is the old aircraft hangar trackside. Ford has bought most of two blocks on Michigan Ave and is building office and retail space as well as refurbing the old Wagner Hotel.
