Center in Farmington Hills, Mich.  Construction is expected to be completed by

point for its presence in the Detroit area," said Dana Corporation's president

the hub of the North American automotive market."

problem-solving of issues related to noise vibration and harshness (NVH),
ride, and engine performance.  The center will also house an auditorium and a
product display area.
