We're about a year and a half into construction at Wayne State's $93 million Multipurpose Biomedical Research Building (MBRB), the university's largest construction project ever. The new building uses the structure of a much older building - the former Dalgleish Cadillac dealership, an Albert Kahn design dating back to 1927. When construction finishes up in about a year, the MBRB will have the DNA of two separate buildings - Albert Kahn's Dalgleish Cadillac and a brand new structure designed by Harley Ellis Devereaux. The Detroit Curbed article includes an extensive photo gallery of the construction site progress. Architectural Record ran the March 16, 2014 Detroit Free Press story by David Jesse.
