WSU to build $93 million biotech hub

For what it's worth, Preservation Detroit said on their FB wall that they have contacted Wayne State about the demo of the ABEI building. Also, sign the petition!

When was that posted, Pcm? I'd like to add my comment to their FB page, but I don't see the post. I'm having a hard time adjusting to the new FB format.

My thinking is that they are going to do what are are going to do and already have the new building plans drawn up,worse case scenario would be to push to incorporate the existing facade into the new building,meet them halfway,it is not uncommon for cities to issue demolition permits for historic buildings but requiring that the street front remains. But that would require a bit of creativity.

Whaddya know? Thanks for the tip. Actually, the problem was I was looking on the Preservation Detroit site, not Preservation Wayne. Facebook sucks when you change names or merge. There's no way to carry your "likes" and posts over to a new site.
