GRDadof3 Posted February 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 Yes, "we are growing as fast as we can and they still need more" says Dean Paul Plotkowski. This will help fill some much needed holes in the area. I haven't been over there since my last photo update^^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnfaichney Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 I have to say that almost anything would be better than the "back-end" style brick wall currently there. The site for my current project in school is not too unlike that, actually. Perhaps the patterned white panel blocking the windows is meant to establish some kind of connection with the retaining wall and white utility of 131. Not to mention, the one thing that really pops out white panel or concrete is foliage. A green roof would be excellent, especially in passage along 131.

grcitydog Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 Once those beams that are laying on the ground start going up, then this project will really start to move!! Thanks for the photo, I almost forgot about this this project, since there really is so much going on across the river and on the hill!!

GRDadof3 Posted May 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Is this thing going to be open in time for the fall semester? Good question. At first I thought "no way!". But then again, they're moving pretty fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayak1 Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Is this thing going to be open in time for the fall semester? My Guess would be no. There is still a ton of work to be completed including mechanical and electrical sytems. My guess is complete by Christmas break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greedo Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 I've seen construction like this done before (the bolted steel), but I can't remember where. Maybe when I was at WMU. It seems to be an inexpensive way to build 3-4 story buildings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be an inexpensive way to build 3-4 story buildings. Most "office" building that are less than 5 stories are built this way. Economical and a quick way to get your structure in the air.

PBJ Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Oh, goodie! Just when I thought we needed one more blank wall around here! Hahaha.. never satisfied.. From the rendering it looks like there will be a lot of glass on the ground floor as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky05 Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 It was too freaking hot for me to walk all the way across the river to get good pictures of this today, but if you look really close at this image, you can see that walls are being attached to the frame of the addition over at GVSU: Image courtesy of the JW Marriott webcam on the Grand Plaza. Not a bad little camera they've got there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
