For an amateur English speaker like myself - does Wheelock mean anything? Or is it just a weird name?

sounds to me like an english-legacy name. you see the bits and pieces or existing words but becoming proper place names in england tends to put together seemingly nonsensical combinations.

Just kidding. Sorry...couldn't help myself. I think this building will be a knock-out when done.

June 16th. I'm pretty unimpressed with the snail-paced progress of this building. (Cladding aside) Not much of difference from the last time I went by, about a month ago.

These shots are pretty raw, apologies for the snapshot-like quality.

Reflecting glass again, like SWFC. It's OK if it remains the only one in the area... or one of a few.

North side. Cladding on three sides of the tower now,
