New rumor allegedly from someone contracting the glass: the glass cladding is laced with fiber optics to change the lighting of the tower skin, almost like Torre Agbar in Barcelona

It would be cool to see it glow red for OU football wins. Or blue for the Thunder during the playoffs.

Dude, I posted that on the last page. Look before you post.
I think that we will have to wait to see on the lighting scheme, as there have been several different posters with "someone in the know" who have posted that there are going to be fiber optics as well as another poster indicating knowledge from a Holder supervisor that there are to be over 1 million LED lights in the facade of the building...So who knows what it will entail.
One thing is for sure it is going to be exciting to find out!

Or any color that represents a holiday or special events. I can't wait to see this massive building finished. It'll sure be a spectacle during the day AND the night.
^ The fins themselves look to be glass. Similar to the glass fins on parts of 555 Mission in San Francisco. Should give it more texture and help capture light very well.

The photo's must be deceiving. It doesn't look very big. Not a bad thing though because it will soar. I personally love this tower and think, by the first glance at the gazing that it will turn out amazing.
Keep the pictures coming boys, not being a local i want to see this one rise.

Lookin good, should be topped out by spring. The glass there looks really similar to EAP here, but the glass fins look much better than the wierd mullions on EAP. Lovin this one, looks great!
