Argonaut Building

Published February 12, 2009

From WIKI:

The Argonaut Building (also known as the The Argonaut or the General Motors Research Laboratory) is a large office building located in the New Center area of Detroit, Michigan. The building is located at 485 West Milwaukee Avenue, and is located across the street from Cadillac Place. The building was constructed in 1928 and finished in 1930. The high-rise stands at 11 floors, with 10 above-ground and one basement level. The height to the main roof is 42.7 meters (140 feet), and 56.3 metres (180 feet) to the top of the elevator tower. The 275-unit structure structure is an Art Deco building, and uses primarily brick and limestone in its materials.

Now the Argo is CCSs new Grad school. Good lord, how much does THAT cost ? Gotta be – something like, a quarter million dollars a credit hour. heh.
