The building has a center light courtyard, glazed on the first floor, open on the upper floors. The first floor center space will be the commons area for the building.

And couldn't they have used some of that 7 million to actually restore the facade of the old building?

That's rather hideous, what happened to the street wall in the rendering?

This misguided renovation is already 5 million over budget.

Is there a way to 'mark all forums read' in the mobile version?

They will be keeping and restoring all of the original windows. An interior storm will be added for more insulation.

Don't believe the hype- old windows are only energy inefficient if they aren't maintained properly.

I've been restoring the windows on my house for the last month.

The second floor (the main floor, accessed from the front doors) will have mezzanine apartments to take advantage of the tall windows and high ceilings.

They may have been out for spring bird migration?

I think they are supposed to close by July and begin initial site work.

I drove past last weekend and it looks like all the platforms were poured.

They can reuse all the barnwood from slims for one of the other new barnwood restaurants around town. Seriously, La Grassa, Butcher and Boar, Icehouse, George & Dragon, Eat Street, etc. It's getting old.

What about colored mesh panels?
