Compuware World Headquarters is located at One Campus Martius, in downtown Detroit, Michigan. It was constructed in 2000, and finished in 2003. It stands at 18 floors in height, 16 above-ground, and 2 below-ground, and has 1,000,000 square feet (100,000 m2) of office space. The high-rise is used as an office building, a restaurant, retail space for Compuware, and has a fitness center inside, as well as an atrium.
The building was constructed in the late-modernist architectural style, using glass, granite, and limestone as its main materials. AIA Detroit's Urban Priorities Committee rated the building's entry as one of the top ten Detroit interiors.[1]

The headquarters facility, completed in 2002, has 15 floors and 1,100,000 square feet (102,000 m2) of space. The headquarters facility includes an on-site daycare, a 38,000 square feet (3,500 m2) fitness center, and 55,000 square feet (5,100 m2) of retail space.[4]
- This building is the headquarters of the largest computer company in Michigan, and one of the largest in the nation.
- Connected to this building is a 45-meter tall, 12-story (2 underground floors), 2,200-space parking garage attached to it.
- The top two floors (Floors 15 and 16) of this building are purely mechanical in usage.
- The 14th floor of this building includes an observation deck that rings the entire floor, but only a portion of it is available for use.
- Michigan's only Hard Rock Cafe occupies a large part of the retail space on the ground floor.
- The building contains a full-height atrium with an indoor waterfall and water sculpture as its center focal point.
- The building has the ability to be expanded by 350,000 square feet (33,000 m2) to the north by filling in the missing "wedge" in the back of the building.
Facts

- The building has 280,000 square feet (26,000 m2) of glass.

- The entire 14th floor includes an outdoor observation deck around the interior.
