Being in that area reminded me just how decrepit the Student Services Building looks compared to other structures. They really need to consider giving it a major overhaul soon, or even flattening the thing.

Some shots of the Brody Caf construction to this point:

Shots I took of the construction earlier today:

Didn't read the entire article, but the State News reports that a few EL residents, including an MSU professor, aren't thrilled with the way City Center II is progressing so far. The main issues are the acquisition of property, as well as the financ…

The State News notes this morning that City Center II has been approved for inclusion of office space rather than simply retail/residential. What's more interesting to me in the article, however, is the point made by Scott Chappelle. He claims that …

That fly-through is great! The overhead views make the museum seem like it's almost incorrectly tilted compared to the other structures, when, in reality, it's just the crazy slant of the museum itself. Is that potential LED lighting I see in the…

I sent my nomination in about a week ago. It'd be great if the area could wrangle in something of this magnitude. I read a newspaper article that claimed Google was considering making more than just one city's metro area a test site, so we could alw…

This hasn't been discussed in FOREVER, and for good reason. I, for one reason or another today, decided to check out the project website. The last "update" is from this past fall, when it was noted that the project was put "on hold due to the recess…

The apparent loss of Hotel Indigo is no surprise, but a disappointment nonetheless.

Wasn't sure where to place it, but thought I'd put it here since it's in the development area. Oldsmobile Park is FINALLY getting a new name: Cooley Law School Stadium. A member of Cooley's Board of Directors, James Butler, felt that this would be "…

Really good news. I'd imagine they wouldn't bother if they had the idea this thing was going to die, but who knows. Here's the State News article for those interested.

I've been by the cyclotron expansion many times, and I'll be there again tomorrow. It really looks tin-canish, and sort of clashes with all of the red brick buildings in the area, and around campus. I know it's a ways off, but it'll be pretty intere…

I mean, you'd think the EL City Council would be aware of Strathmore's other delinquencies. However, it certainly doesn't seem to be phasing them when it comes to giving the developer all the time they could possibly need to make sure City Center II…

Sorry Mich, I didn't catch that it was you posting in between Jared's comments. You make a good point, but it seems to me that they need to plan things out a bit more before taking any action in terms of construction of the proposed plaza. They're m…

MichMatters, I know the rendering shows an area labeled "staff parking and loading dock," but I believe that's just a small loading dock area. As you mentioned in your post above, spaces actually start right around the area where the benches and …

Interesting enough, the overhead image, 4th from the bottom, shows the potential issues with the roof. There are a few areas where water could definitely gather, so there certainly needs to be something in place to help with drainage. Other than …

That certainly goes hand-in-hand with statements made by Tim Dempsey last month in regards to this thing. I'm still not convinced as to the health of this project. I'd love to see it go through, but how many times can the city council give extension…

Apparently they're "close" enough to for sure start construction this Spring. The MSU Board of Trustees has approved the plan to start construction sometime this Spring according to the State News. This seems like pretty good news, considering they'…

The latest news in the broken record that is the City Center II tax situation with Strathmore, according to the State News, is that they're going to be right up against a December 17th deadline to pay their back taxes, or else their site plans "expi…

In the same article from the State News as the City Center II stuff today, it's mentioned that the city is going forward on an application for TIGER funding from the Feds to renovate the EL Amtrak station.
