dbigtex56 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Thanks to earlier posters who pointed out the security and mechanical updates needed for this building. The aesthetic changes are more noticeable; the new glass curtain wall is the equivalent of a push-up bra on grandma. This is an undistinguished building, and it's doubtful that anyone will mourn its eventual demise. It is, temporarily, less of an eyesore. I've noticed that many mid to late 20th century buildings which featured stone veneers have seen them fail; was this the case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what your saying is for $86 million we have the architectural equivalent of Joan Rivers? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brijonmang Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 From 6/23 and today: Maybe they could keep those remaining glass panels off. It would be like an ode to the original look. I actually don't think it looks half bad. (No this is not a serious idea) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsb320 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 I wonder what it looks like from the inside looking out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infinite_jim Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Most of the exterior work has been focused on the atrium lobby and the underground portion, otherwise not much going on. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triton Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Hope everything is okay. The construction site has been dead everytime I drive by it. Maybe it is all interior work at this moment. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purdueenginerd Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Yeah, Im not sure what happened with this project... Maybe the federal sequester slowed it down?? Either way, I saw someone welding at like 9 pm on like the 15th floor a few weeks ago... Maybe theyre running some night shifts so as to not interfere with the office workers.

Avossos Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 So... What happens to this now? Federal govt. want to finish this or just let it go unfinished... It's been ages since I've seen anyone there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chi-Char-Hou-Dal Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Saw one guy working on the lobby today. 1! What is the deal with this? Anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate99 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Was just wondering what the hold up was. I understood the money to do the renovation was part of the "stimulus" back whenever that happened, but I could be wrong on that. From the earlier description, the renovation was needed to keep the weather out if nothing else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbanize713 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Work has picked up, that circle entrance thing closest to the street has now been wrapped in glass. Not sure what that means for the rest of the building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
