Couple new pics of the Sparrow Construction:

That looks interesting. It's nice to see a second rendering confirm that there will be a walkway to the black mirror glass wing of the hospital. I really hope that they follow through with remodling the entire length of the building where the old lobby used to be.

Jared

My bad LMich, i'll make the correction. Yeah, that night rendering looks pretty nice. Watching the video it makes Sparrow look like a airport terminal's entrance.

There is a walkway that looks very similar in the Biomedical and Physical Sciences (BPS) Building at MSU. The walkway connects the BPS and the Chemistry building.

Here is the link for the video of the walkthrough.

A couple pics of the progress:


From the Capitol Ramp:

For how many floors tall the building is supposed to be, it never seems that tall when I drive by it. Do you know how much taller it it supposed to get?

hood

There is one floor to go and a pretty substantial elevator tower(s) equal to 2-2 1/2 floors.

The origional building was supposed to be four. They said the building will be 11 total floors, including the basement, and that nightime rendering shows 6 floors above the origional building.

Thats all I've ever been able to count from the outside also, but I do know that there are 6 floors above the origional expansion. So whether it's 9 or 10 floors there is still one more to be built.
