Alex, I am glad to hear about your interest. What exactly is the nature of the research you are doing?

There are numerous other places you could see. If you are interested in industrial buildings, you can start by visiting the Packard Plant, the Ford Piquette Plant, the birthplace of the Model T, and which has been partially turned into a museum, and what remains of the Ford Highland Park plant.

There are many other interesting sites in the city [[especially many non-abandoned ones), so I hope you will explore beyond the ruins as well.
