Someone has begun construction on the old police station on Woodward Avenue. Anyone know what this is going to be?

    Never mind. I found it. It's going to be an Art Studio. Partially funded by Kresge, of course.

    Never mind again. The art studio is the building I posted earlier in Mexican Town. I still don't know what this is going to be. More research.

    Just found out that this is being renovated by the Wayne County Sheriff's Department into a headquarter building to use while their new building is being built downtown. The downtown building is scheduled to take 4 years to build. Seems like a waste to me.

Hillberry Gateway Project at Wayne State University

Wayne State University  approved the $65 million  Hilberry Gateway project in 2018, a  renovation of the Hilberry Theatre  (with the 350-seat Gretchen Valade Jazz Center and 110-seat Jazz Underground), development of a new venue (with a 550-seat main theatre and a 150 to 225-seat Studio Theatre) and outdoor performance and reception space between the two buildings. The Gateway will be the performance home for the Maggie Allesee Department of Theatre and Dance and the Department of Music. Initial site work for the project included  moving the historic Mackenzie House , built in 1895, to a former parking lot at 2nd and Forest in 2019. Opening is set for  late 2022/2023 .

Anyway, here is a photo of The El Moore which is moving along nicely. Notice the new windows. See the new El Moore page link on the right to keep you up to date with more photos.
