This aerial photograph from 1932 offers a revealing glimpse of pre-war GMI.
The second aerial photograph was taken in 1968 and shows considerable building expansion.
The famed Academic Building was dedicated in 1927 and still resides in the same place on campus. Today, students attend classes in this building and conduct work in state-of-the-art laboratories.
Kettering’s C.S. Mott Engineering and Science Center—funded in part by a generous grant from the Mott Foundation of Flint—is a technologically advanced facility that serves as home to some of the nation’s most innovative laboratories and facilities. In this building, students, faculty and corporate partners work together on numerous projects.
One of the research facilities available to students in the C.S. Mott Engineering and Science Center is Kettering’s Crash Safety Center, which, according to many sources, is the only crash safety research center available for undergraduate research at the collegiate level in the U.S. Faculty and students engage in research projects for corporations and insurance associations throughout the country using the technology and resources in this center.
