Domino's Farms is an office park in Ann Arbor Charter Township, Michigan, centered around a four-story, 1⁄2-mile-long (0.80 km), Prairie style groundscraper known as the "Prairie House". Domino's Pizza founder Tom Monaghan commissioned the complex in the early 1980s to serve as the company's headquarters, and Monaghan remains the owner of the complex after selling his stake in Domino's in 1998. The complex was designed by Gunnar Birkerts in the style of Frank Lloyd Wright, whom Monaghan admired. Construction began in 1984, and the sixth and final phase of the Prairie House was fully completed in 2005. Michigan Medicine is a major tenant of the complex, which also includes test kitchens for Domino's and a petting zoo. Early concepts for the approximately 300-acre (120 ha) site, located just east of the Ann Arbor city limits, included a circular layout for the campus and a 30-story skyscraper. These plans were refined into the linear configuration that was eventually built. A scale model of the unbuilt skyscraper, nicknamed the "Leaning Tower of Pizza," stands in a field on the west side of the campus. Another unbuilt concept for Domino's Farms included a campus of Ave Maria University, a Catholic university founded by Monaghan that instead moved to Collier County, Florida, in the mid-2000s.

Ford Nuclear Reactor

The Ford Nuclear Reactor was a facility at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor dedicated to investigating the peaceful uses of nuclear power. It was a part of the Michigan Memorial Phoenix Project, a living memorial created to honor the casualties of World War II. The reactor operated from September 1957 until July 3, 2003. During its operation, the FNR was used to study medicine, cellular biology, chemistry, physics, mineralogy, archeology, anthropology, and nuclear science. The reactor was a swimming pool reactor, originally operating at 1 MW using 93% enriched U-235 aluminum-based fuel. It was later upgraded to 2 MW, using 19.5% enriched fuel. The Department of Energy fabricated, transported, and disposed of the fuel at no cost to the University. The reactor had a peak thermal flux of 3×1013 n/cm2s. It had 10 beam ports. It was constructed by Babcock & Wilcox under a subcontract with Leeds & Northrup. The decommissioned FNR building, Phoenix Memorial Laboratory, still stands on North Campus at the University of Michigan. The building has been renovated into a home for the Michigan Memorial Phoenix Energy Institute, a university-wide program tasked with charting the path towards sustainable energy. In 2015 a $12 million dollar renovation began on the reactor space itself to transform the area into a new laboratory for the Nuclear Engineering department at the university. The laboratory building, named the Nuclear Engineering Laboratory, was opened in April 2017.
