There was no design change in the middle of construction when we can clearly see that the original design was being built.

That's just sad individuals trolling for attention.
Just ignore them, they are not worth your time.

Glass panels looked to be all installed from here. The roof of the atrium was being working on this evening when I walked by.

It's real close. There were still some panels in the upper right hand corner that needed to be installed. It looked like they were working on those this morning.

Excellent pictures. Most images posted here focus on the vertical progress but I enjoy seeing the glass, because I think the exterior cladding is just fantastic and unique.

Also from the perspective of these two pictures, the building looks complete, which is very cool.

Now you've done it. I'll think of that every time I see it until the end of time.

Comcast owns Universal Pictures which has the rights to Jurassic Park. Seeing Raptors here is not completely out of the question...

OMG! That is so similar now! Now look what he done! Maybe Comcast is not letting us know about a new 'Secret' innovation. Hmmm...

And on topic now: New steel pieces now going in on the other side, where it has been slow the past week.

Actually, it might not be so bad if some Raptors were moved to Philly.

Have they taken a break from installing glass on the main tower part? Glass doesn't seem to have risen do a while.

Starting Tuesday, I will be driving down to boathouses row for Crew. I can't wait to take pictures and see the progress of the building.
