I'm glad to see they are focusing on the Fine Arts facade now. For a while there, it didn't look like it was going to survive. Can't wait to see how that restoration turns out.

Just like a concrete block?

Wow, I really like how the north side turned out. At first I wasn't sure about it as the building was going up but, now that all the windows are in, I think it looks great. Great pics, Harry!

Not bad.... Not bad at all.

Wow, Im so suprised this one is topped out and nearly done already! I was away for most of the summer and came back to this gem... what a treat.
I also believe this looks better than I expected from the renderings.

I cant wait to see what that restored facade looks like.

Got to go on a tour last week with the department and took a few shots of the interior as well as a video of the ride up in the construction elevator.

Great picture set! I wouldn't be able to focus with views like that!

Thanks for the tour, ekieft. A great glimpse of the interior spaces.

I don't mind traffic so much when this is my view.

^^^ I think that's a stretch. It doesn't reference the streetwall at all.

Edit. Wrong comment.

Thanks for the updates, harry. I haven't been to this site in over a month and it's appearance has barely changed since then. The focus of attention is obviously on the interior.
I'm definitely anticipating the facadectomy restoration.
