OK, so I may or may not have forgotten after class to get pictures.

Does anybody know if brick faade is going to be put up on the south side of Kyle field? Or is it going to stay the way it is?
quote:The renderings definitely show brick on the lower half of the south side steel skeleton. Not a full facade, but just covering some of the exposed steel. I had assumed that it couldn't be added until the SW activation tower was complete. Hopefully that is still the plan.
The south end is finished, no additional work on it. I wouldn't mind some brick finishings on the lower portion, or at least some banners/graphic treatmeant to spurce up the exterior, but doesn't appear that's in the current plans.

quote:If you compare the original renderings that showed brick with what actually was built, you will see why there won't be brick there. The vertical surface doesn't go nearly as high, so any brick would be completely hidden by the Bright complex instead of being above the Bright complex.quote:The renderings definitely show brick on the lower half of the south side steel skeleton.

Personally I'd rather the money go to features that would be used and were also in the scope at one point (dynamic stadium lighting or Spence Park) vs. brick that is only visible from a distance.

Which towers are getting escalaters?

I'm not as up to date on the details of the renovation as some of yall are, so can someone tell me: the old metal paneling that they tore down off of the zone, it's getting replaced by windows so are the windows just there for show or do they plan on doing some interior work inside the zone and eventually make way for the windows to actually be used to look outside?
quote:I would say it will probably be a mix of both.
They aren't windows. It is spandrel glass used to hide the structure behind it. It's just another building material that is used to give the illusion of an opening in the structure. Most of the time spandrel glass is opaque and you can't see through it.
