Ford looks to Silicon Valley in corporate campus redesign
Borrowing a page from the Silicon Valley playbook, Ford Motor is going on a building and renovation spree near Detroit in hopes of creating more inviting and idea-inspiring workspaces.
Ford plans to renovate or build 7.5 million square feet of office space, research facilities and engineering operations, marking the first dramatic overhaul of its home base in six decades. Much of the work will be done at the company's historical base: Dearborn, Mich.
