YEAHHH!!! I've been waiting for renderings of the Simplot building. It looks great too, low but not reminiscent of a suburban office park, and great integration with both the street and the JUMP park. I have a feeling the overall complex will do a great deal for bringing downtown Boise into the spotlight and will be a awesome new public space...something all great cities need.

btw 202, while I agree to some extent about the skybridge issue, it is worth noting (and it's fresh in my mind due to a similar discussion in the DTLA thread regarding the Medallion addition, which incorporates a skybridge) ..that this particular bridge is only for the purposes of moving within the headquarters complex. It's not the same as a skybridge or tunnel system like those of Minneapolis or Houston, respectively, which link multiple buildings that otherwise have nothing to do with one another.
