Below are some quick facts about
Compuware's new world headquarters, which is currently under
construction in downtown Detroit:
- $350 million
- 15 floors
- 1.1 million square feet
- houses roughly 3,000 employees
- Approximately 60,000 square feet of retail space
- 12-story (10 aboveground, two below) parking structure
with original art by students from Detroit' s College
for Creative Studies
- On-site fitness and daycare facilities for employees
- 8,000 tons of steel form the structural skeleton of
the building
- 700 tons of bolts, washers and nuts holding the steel
together
- The largest piece of structural steel is more than 90
feet long and weighs 14 tons
- 280,000 square feet of glass
- 250,000 cubic yards of material were excavated from
the site
- Nearly 1,300 drawings have been made for the project

The Compuware headquarters will contain more than 1,400
miles of low and line-voltage wire. If this wire were placed
end-to-end, it would stretch from the Compuware construction
site to the Gunderlin factory in Miami, Florida. |
