That is a utility vault.If you look you can see the communication conduits on the south wall, up high. Also if you look at pics of the demoliton on the two malls you will see spaces like these as well.

A utility vault is an underground room providing access to subterranean public utility equipment, such as valves for water or natural gas pipes, or switchgear for electrical or telecommunications equipment.

Utility vaults are commonly constructed out of reinforced concrete boxes, poured cement or brick. Small ones are usually entered through a manhole or grate on the topside. Such vaults are considered confined spaces and can be hazardous to enter. Large utility vaults are similar to mechanical or electrical rooms in design and content.

I e-mailed Bruce Bingham and asked him what it was and he replied that it was an electrical vault that Rocky Mountain Power is having them put in for this building.

It looks like the front is going to be a "V" shape. From the renderings I've seen it looked like one side was parallel to Main Street. This might be more interesting looking than I thought. Even though it's pretty ordinary, the designers have done some good things, like splitting it up into two parts so it doesn't look so blocky.

urbanboy · #**235** Posted **Mar 18, 2008, 5:01 PM**

The first two levels will be parallel to Main Street. The rest is, like you said, a v shape facing Main. You can see a 3-D model of it on GoogleEarth.
