Take an elevator ride up 80 feet to the Observation Deck.  It’s the best seat in the house for a panoramic view of the Ford Rouge Center complex and a spectacular way to see the Living Roof atop the Dearborn Truck Plant’s Final Assembly building.  The Living Roof is a milestone in environmental design and is one of the largest of its kind in the world.

Not only will you see this ground-breaking living roof, but the Observation Deck also highlights the extensive network of environmental innovations throughout the Rouge Complex including: a naturalized habitat, porous pavement, solar arrays and energy saving photovoltaic panels.

The Observation Deck also has two interactive exhibits that help to explain the various environmentally inspired features at the Ford Rouge Center.

It’s an excursion into a realm where environmental innovation and industrial production work together to put an entirely new face on modern manufacturing.
