You know your Sh**
 
You've got everything nice and concice, but it will take until 2015 to complete this. The 30-story Cowboy Partners Bldg is a "maybe," the "Utah World Trade Center" is a "lets talk this thing up..." Let's hope Salt Lake gets everything that's being talked about.

It sucks about the 600-foot building, the Zion Social Hall(http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=...akecity-ut-usa), The Eagle Gate Plaza (original plans were 39 stories), The Twin 40-Story Towers (to be built by Kashogi), The American Towers (why didn't they just build ONE BIG 52-story Bldg?). And so on and so forth.

I do love SLC, I just liken it to the Rodney Dangerfield of cities - No Respect!

Comrade Aug 23, 2007 3:20 AM

Ok, I updated it. A lot has changed since the original one.

Somethin goin on
 
It's good to see that there's stuff going on in Salt Lake, as far as the skyline growth goes. But I think that much taller buildings need to be built. Buildings taller than 450 ft. Salt Lake isn't all that impressive compared to a lot of well-known cities in the country. And I think that if Salt Lake wants to become the "heart of the Intermountain Empire," we'll need to start impressing people.

We need a mix of quality AND quantity.

Health Sciences garage, roadway and connector

https://www.enr.com/ext/resources/20...jpg?1675459861


Construction of a new 1,400-car parking garage and the road realignment on North Medical Drive is underway. The garage, located between the IJ & Jeanné Wagner Jewish Community Center and the Kathryn F. Kirk Center for Comprehensive Cancer Care and Women’s Cancers, will feature a lowered roadway entrance and a pedestrian connector to University Hospital so people on foot can avoid the traffic on North Medical Drive. The road realignment will raise North Medical Drive, allowing for better access into the North Medical Garage and the new parking garage. Additionally, two new roundabouts will be added at the entrance to University Hospital and the entrance to the new parking garage to improve traffic flow.

The high-traffic corner near Sugar House Park that drew community attention last year over nixed plans for a Kum & Go gas station remains in play for development.

A Malad City, Idaho, company applied in November on behalf of the property’s owner to demolish the former Sizzler restaurant that has stood empty for years on the northwest corner of the park at 2111 S. 1300 East.

Records show the permit is nearing approval. Fencing has gone up around the 0.82-acre property and rigs are poised to help raze the iconic eatery and haul its guts off to the landfill. The empty building has seen incidents of trespassing, according to a real estate agent representing the owner, a family company in Salt Lake City called Romney Farr Properties.


The choice spot by the park just off Interstate 80 is considered one of the more commercially desirable locations in and around Sugar House’s rapidly growing central business district.

The site got re-marketed to other potential developers over the summer after the city planning commission vetoed plans in April for a Kum & Go convenience store and gas station there, citing environmental and traffic concerns. Few recent developments in what’s often dubbed Salt Lake City’s second downtown have drawn that much public opposition, with hundreds of residents weighing in.

The Iowa-based Kum & Go chain has since been bought by the parent company of Maverik, the Salt Lake City-based convenience store chain, but Kum & Go is still obligated to a 20-year lease it signed on the property adjacent to the popular park, according to broker Kip Paul of Cushman & Wakefield.

Maverik is said to have a new developer interested in building a hotel on the property, according to Paul. Attempts to reach officials with FJ Management, Maverik’s parent company, were not immediately successful.

The notion of returning the property to some kind of hospitality use has come up before. Past efforts, though, have hit challenges over a lack of available parking space, getting additional building height approved under the property’s existing zoning and the thorny prospect of obtaining a state-authorized liquor license in proximity to park grounds.

The planning commission’s 9-1 vote to reject Kum & Go’s application for a conditional use permit there also cited potential impacts on the park, air quality and secondary water supplies in nearby Parleys Creek.

Since then, city planners have also drafted a new set of minimum distances that newly built gas stations can be from rivers, streams and other bodies of water, as well as parks and open spaces.

The Sugar House Community Council, meanwhile, has seen several ideas for the property since the gas station was turned down, including the prospect of new apartments, but those options are severely limited, according one key member.

“You can’t build a luxury apartment building if you don’t have parking,” said Judi Short, chair of the council’s land use and zoning committee. Going underground for parking, she noted, is precluded by a nearby earthen dam.

A proposal to preserve the space through a land swap involving property closer to Highland High School fell through, Short said. The city has also sought to purchase the property, without success.

For now, the site’s future after the Sizzler goes remains a question mark.

No doubt the seismic upgrade and rejuvenation of Salt Lake City's iconic Temple Square Campus is huge by any standard. Tradesmen in the know continue to try and guess as to the cost of such a mammoth project. While no exact dollar amount has been officially released to the general public all agree the sum total is in the multiple billions.

Recently, one of Salt Lake's two preeminent newspapers, 'The Salt Lake Tribune' delved into what comes after this latest round of Temple Square redevelopment. Here are excerpts from that article which confirmed many common rumors circulated widely throughout the religious and secular community for many years now. Keep in mind that many of the redevelopment ideas will undergo several reiterations. However, many of the forward-thinking proposals that were presented were a solid foundation upon which Salt Lake City's northern downtown sector will likely undergo a continued major renaissance over the upcoming decade leading up to the 2034 Olympics.

Current Temple Square setup. Note in upcoming plans how the structures fronting the Historic Temple at the north and south will be demolished and replaced in different positions in their relationship to the Temple itself. The more modern structures that previously fronted the Temple on both north and south sides will be removed and new structures with a more historic vibe will be constructed and mover further toward the east and west ends of the Temple. This will open up from the main throughfares the architectural beauty of the historic structures approach. Landscaping and water features will also be redeveloped, again affording the historic Temple improved outward embracing site lines.

Note, a significant part of the redevelopment is subterranean structures and seismic upgrades.

In this aerial below notice the mostly empty 20 acres of parking immediately to the west of the Temple Campus. That is the area that will see most of the major upcoming redevelopment spoken of by the Tribune article as soon as the current focus is completed. Even though loathed in recent years by the community itself those parking lots serve a valuable overflow purpose for the multitude of special events involving the Convention Center, the NBA arena, millions of annual tourist and pilgrim visits, and the L.D.S. Church's myriad of special events. However, if Salt Lake's past and recent history is any indication, the valuable parking space will move underground two or more levels

Modern Focus on the Patient: Intermountain Medical Center by Anshen + Allen

Metro: Salt Lake City, Utah: A massive healthcare facility gives form to a parallel shift in medicine that emphasizes the art of healing rather than the mere administration of scientific procedures.


By Gregory Hoadley
October 25, 2007

Contemporary trends in medicine and design signal the end of the imposing sterility of older-generation hospital facilities. At Intermountain Medical Center in Murray, Utah, designed by Anshen+Allen, the principle of patient-centered care is at the heart of the design. The 1.5-million square foot facility embodies a new approach to clinical architecture, where sunlight, patient comfort, and natural materials are as much a part of the design equation as accommodating the latest in digital imaging equipment.
Located 10 miles south of downtown Salt Lake City, the Intermountain Medical Center, opening October 29, will be the flagship campus for Utah's Intermountain Healthcare. The new facility dispenses with the monolithic medical tower, instead featuring five separate clinics, each designed around the principles of patient comfort and dignity. Wood and stone surfaces complement warm interior color palettes, while serene landscaping, meditative spaces, private alcoves, and natural views will help instill a sense of calm.
Each of the five buildings on the 110-acre former brownfield site has its own identity, entrance, lobby, and parking. The 15-story J.L. Sorenson Patient Tower houses 486 inpatient units in specialized 32-bed sections. Patients and staff can discuss medical and insurance history in secluded wood-enclosed registration bays. Single-occupancy rooms maximize privacy and comfort, while reducing the risk of spreading airborne pathogens between patients. Each room has a sink near the door for visitors to wash their hands, additionally lowering risk of infection. Guests may prepare food in "family pantries," and glass curtain walls afford views of the Wasatch and Oquirrh ranges.
On the ground floor, emergency care is reorganized into low-level flex care, more urgent acute care, a trauma unit for the most critical cases, and a decision unit for those needing monitoring before a diagnosis. Meanwhile, the neighboring six-story, 120,000-square-foot George S. and Dolores Doré Eccles Outpatient Care Center contains no beds. As emergency and inpatient care are located next door, outpatient schedules are more likely to run on time, from the clinical offices on the top four floors, to diagnostics on the second, to the surgery and pharmacy facilities on the ground level.
The seven-story J.L. Sorenson Heart and Lung Center features a labyrinth for walking meditation – along with cutting-edge technology. The three-story, 48,000- square-foot Jon and Karen Huntsman Cancer Center combines oncology, radiology, and surgery in an environment that revolves around patient needs, while the six-floor Carolyn Barnes Gardner Women and Newborn Center puts obstetrics, post-natal care, gynecology, and breast care under another roof.
Technology enhances patient-centered care throughout the design. Anti-microbial carpet dampens hallway noise, replacing the familiar sterile tiles. Two-way audiovisual networks link the pharmacy to private kiosks in the wards, where patients can order medications for delivery via pneumatic tubes. From scanners to gamma knives, medical equipment throughout the facility is state of the art.
Although located in separate buildings, acute care and cardiopulmonary services are located opposite each other to provide rapid-reaction options in emergencies. Indeed, the careful placement of the structures indicates that the traditional hierarchical hospital tower has been superseded by a closely integrated network of clinical sites.
Plugged into this clinical network, the freestanding Doty Family Education Center houses a 300-seat auditorium, eight classrooms, and two computer labs. This facility, unveiled in June, caters to the continuing education needs of medical professionals, and is already in use for seminars and review courses.
The turn away from the iconic object in modernism occurs in the context of an ongoing reevaluation of the meaning of modernity in architecture. Instead of the monolithic, nuance and fragmentation are welcome expressions. The Intermountain Center responds to a parallel shift in medicine, emphasizing the art of healing, rather than the mere administration of scientific procedures. This may ring post-modern, but it is not anti-modern: Hard research into the role of the environment in patient recovery has found that such factors as peace and quiet, natural light, comforting materials, and calming views have therapeutic effects. As such, Anshen + Allen's Intermountain Medical Center gives form to contemporary directions in architecture and medicine, setting a standard for a new model of clinical design.

Downtown Salt Lake City's Public Library - Recently Completed - 2006 Library of the Year

Moshe Safdie’s Salt Lake City Public Library is a dramatic Modern building that recognizes the continuing civic importance of the library in new and compelling ways. A glass-covered, curved walkway borders the stacks. Opposite the stacks are remote reading areas, accessible by bridges, with views of the Wasatch Mountains. The building won an AIA Honor Award in 2004 and an AIA/ALA Library Building Award in 2005...

Therma-Floor

...New Salt Lake City Library Uses Therma-Floor® for "Urban" Development

Cheers and applause burst from the hundreds of onlookers who came to see the opening of the new 65 million dollar City Library. The 240,000 square-foot-structure features limestone, glass and exposed girders,offering panoramic views of the Wasatch Mountains and plenty of natural light.

In the library's new Urban Room, radiant heat was used because it warms objects, not air. The five story wide open area would have been difficult to heat with a conventional system as the warm air rises, with the possibility of overheating upper floors.

Therma-Floor was selected to cover the radiant heating tubes because of its high strength (typical range of 2,000 to 3,000 psi (14 to 21 MPa) and ability to handle heavy foot traffic, evident by the 16,000 people who visited the library on opening day.

The City Library, "Library Journal's Library of the Year"

http://www.xsltblog.com/archives/slc-library.jpg
xsltblog

Information provided by the Library Journal:

The new Main Library in Salt Lake City embodies the idea that a library is more than a repository of books and computers - it reflects and engages the city's imagination and aspirations. The building is double the previous space with 240,000 square feet for more than 500,000 books and other materials, and room to grow the collection. The six-story curving, walkable wall embraces the public plaza, with shops and services at ground level, reading galleries above, and a 300-seat auditorium. A multi-level reading area along the glass lens at the southern facade of the building looks out onto the plaza with stunning views of the city and Wasatch Mountains beyond. A roof-top garden, accessible by walking the crescent wall or the elevators, offers a 360 degree view of the Salt Lake Valley. Spiraling fireplaces on four floors resemble a column of flame from the vantage of 200 East and 400 South. The Urban Room between the library and the crescent wall is a space for all seasons, generously endowed with daylight and open to magnificent views.

http://www.slcpl.lib.ut.us/media/images/upd/79194.jpg
Timothy Hursley
Natural light is introduced into all of the spaces where people sit and work. Infused with light from all sides, the library has paid careful attention to ensure that library materials and technology are not affected by direct sunlight. The clear glass on the lens of the triangle has the highest UV rating available for energy efficiency. Indirect lighting fixtures reflect off the painted, arched ceilings to cast even light, reducing glare on computer screens, desk surfaces, and book pages.

Larger Collection

Library patrons expressed the desire for even more from the City Library collections - a request that challenged the library to provide more depth and enlarge both the scope and breadth of the collections. For the past three years, collection development librarians have selected and acquired more than 80,000 new items. This brings the collection size for the new Main Library close to 500,000 items and the total library system collection to 750,000.

Children's Library

The Children's Library is a light-filled, five-story atrium which may be observed from all of the floors above. Moveable, translucent "clouds" may be pulled across the space to provide shade when necessary. Along the outer edge you will find space for coats, backpacks, and strollers; a small room in which parents may attend to the needs of their babies; and an alcove filled with multimedia equipment loaded with educational games and learning programs. A large craft and story room houses many of the children's programs. Two special spaces are tucked under the reflecting pool of the plaza. Designed to free a child's imagination, these rooms are places for dreaming, playing, reading, and inventing. Grandmother's Attic recreates the coziness of an attic with wood beams and a trunk of dress-up clothes. For something a little more fantastic, the sparkling Crystal Cave is sure to fire a child's imagination. During the summer months, children can enjoy the adjacent terrace where gently flowing waterfalls cascade down the walls - a feature designed to cool the area and provide a calming but visually interesting background. The area also offers a space for outdoor storytimes during the warmer Utah months.

The Canteena

The City Library System has made a strong commitment to reaching out to and serving young adults. Designed to appeal to teens, the Canteena contains materials of high interest for that age group as well as literature published especially for them. The media and technology in this area encourage group study as well as individual exploration. A cantilevered stair takes teens directly from the Canteena to the cafe.

Newspapers and Magazines

On display are more than 600 newspaper and magazine titles to which the library subscribes. Current issues of these titles are on display; back issues are shelved in the periodical stack area of the library. Older magazines and newspapers are housed in the closed stack area to preserve materials that are often fragile and easily damaged. Even as more current material is available online, the demand for back issues and microfilm continues. This treasure trove of information is the only resource of its kind between Denver and San Francisco.

Audiovisual and Technology Centers

Library materials now include not only books, but audiocassettes, compact discs, videocassettes, DVDs, and CD-ROMs, in addition to visual materials such as art prints and slides. Three small rooms in the audiovisual area allow patrons to preview these materials before checking them out. The technology center and training lab offer 42 computer stations with Internet access; an additional 121 Internet computers are located throughout the building. The computers in the technology center have been partially provided through a Gates grant, and staff is available to assist users as they write papers, work on resumes, and develop computer skills.

Languages and Literacy

As the population of Salt Lake City becomes more diverse, the need for materials in other languages has steadily increased. This new area provides books, magazines, and newspapers in 25 languages, and language study materials for people learning English as well as those learning other languages.

http://www.slcpl.lib.ut.us/media/images/upd/79197.jpg
by Timothy Hursley

Special Collections

The library has a small but very interesting collection of old and rare materials, plus examples of various types of publishing and items of special significance to our region. The fragile nature of these collections requires that they be used in this room.

Browsing Library and Cafe

The Browsing Library on the first floor makes it easy for patrons to find popular, current, and high demand items. The librarians in this area take great pleasure in discussing your reading interests, helping you find more books like the ones you've recently enjoyed, and introducing you to new authors and subjects.

A place to relax with a cup of coffee was one of the most requested services by the public. The City Library is pleased to be able to provide this space next to the Browsing Library where you can enjoy a drink or snack from The Salt Lake Roasting Company.

Gallery at Library Square

The City Library has a long history of supporting the arts through a program of changing exhibits. These exhibits expose thousands of Salt Lake City residents to a wide variety of art media - paintings, watercolors,drawings, collage, photography, and sculpture - created by talented artists.

http://www.slcpl.lib.ut.us/media/images/upd/79163.jpg
by Timothy Hursley

Finding Your Way


As you move up in the building from floor to floor, you may notice that it gets quieter. This effect is by design, with the more active and noisier areas of the library on the lower levels giving way to the reference and study-oriented areas on the upper levels.

On each level of the library, as you exit the elevator or come up the stairs, you will find a building directory and signage designed to help you orient yourself. The layout and design of the book stacks helps direct you to various service areas as well as to the restrooms, copy machines, public telephones, and water fountains.

Public Plaza and Landscaping The architects sought to link the library and City Hall as companion buildings in support of civic engagement. A granite water wall provides a cooling atmosphere and flows into a wedge-shaped garden. A reflecting pool under the base of the glass lens offers a respite from the warmth of Utah's summer sun. The public plaza was designed to create opportunities for community festivals, events, and celebrations. Funding has been provided through some of the Olympic revenues to complete the east side of the block as a peaceful urban green space.

The plazas, water features, and gardens of the new Main Library are designed in the same spirit of other great public spaces - a place to meet friends, relax with a book, watch a concert, participate in a debate or celebrate the city.

Amenities include a fitness/recreation facility, and covered terrace with a spa. The lower level will contain retail space, which can be used as a live/ work space. The units will be finished with hard wood floors and cast-in-place concrete and stainless steel appliances. The project will add to Salt Lake's "Urban Chic" living style, found in large metropolitan areas such as Chicago or London.

:tup: Hey Thanks Steve for the great pics. I especially like those autumn pics of TRAX up around the U. of U. I love how this area his investing so heavily now in mass transit, before Salt Lake City gets too big, instead waiting sooo long like my other home of L.A.

In the picture of the Med. Center, what project is that crane on that you can see in the distance?

The Crane is at the Med Center, its the expansion of the University Hospital. Here is a description and a rendering



The Patient Care Pavilion at University Hospital

At the same time, work will begin on phase two of the project -- the construction of a new Patient Care Pavilion. This pavilion will be a five-story above ground/two story underground, 221,329 square foot building that will approximately mirror the Eccles Critical Care Pavilion to the east. It will be built to the north and west of the current entrance to the hospital and will create a new entry and lobby to University Hospital. The expansion will include 120 private patient rooms, shelled space for future growth cafeteria, and updated mechanical services for the hospital.

Upon completion of the Patient Care Pavilion in the summer of 2009, existing units of semi-private rooms in the current hospital will be systematically remodeled into private rooms resembling the private rooms in the new Pavilion - matching the quality of our facility to the outstanding quality of our care.

The Patient Care Pavilion will be built to serve the needs of in-patients and to support the development and growth of critical service lines, including cardiovascular services, surgical services, and the neurosciences.
