-snip- I'm dumb and didn't realize this had been tagged

Nah. Too easy.

Some prep work for this has already begun-- the hardscaping surrounding the area of the plaza being filled in by this building is starting to be removed.

They're about to get started on this one. Sidewalk closures on East Service/Health Science drive start August 22.

:cheers:

Lots of activity all this week (as mentioned above)--this thing is going to sprout above ground level before we know it, and at 377 ft tall is pretty impressive, taller than it's adjacent neighbors.

Just saw a caisson drill from a passing train.

Quick photo I grabbed at work last Wednesday. Only captures about half of the site, maybe less. This project has also been renamed the Hub for Clinical Collaboration, but I haven't seen the name used in any public releases.

Nice! Any caisson installation yet?

Took a photo of the other half of the site on 10/22. Due to Buerger's design I can only get half of it one shot. Maybe when its climbing I can head to the upper floors of Colket to take a pic.

Looks to me like this one is under construction! That's caisson installation that is :cheers::notacrook:

Rolled by on the train, drilling, lots of drilling.

They're really wedging this building in here. Pics taken yesterday Feb 15.

In front of the Research Center

It seems this one might be continuing with the same kind of medical building exemption as the HUP hospital. I just got a notice of a construction-related road closure

Scratch that, just got a follow up email that the road closure and construction is cancelled. Maybe they were waiting to hear back.

I can see arguments for both sides on this one-----for, it is part of a hospital complex, against, it's not intended for direct patient care.
I'd be interested in what others think.
