hindesky Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 They hope to be open for the fall semester but with 9 months to go they better put it in high gear IMHO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houston19514 Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 (edited) It is scheduled to open in January 2019, not fall semester. Edited November 20, 2017 by Houston19514 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I talked with a McCarthy Bros executive when they were flying up the huge beams over the auditorium and he said at the time they would be open for the fall semester, but I don't see it at the pace they're going. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the project's website, I don't think that has ever been the timetable. Two years ago we had a discussion in this thread about the meaning of the stated "Fall 2017 Completion". The website still shows construction being completed in the 4th quarter 2017 and says they are on schedule.

ArtNsf Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 I'm assuming the blue "wrapping" on the outside is only protective and will be removed upon completion, correct ? Although I do love the color, and certainly, Houston's downtown really could use some bright colors and more "pop", but looking good so far ! Thanks for the pics everyone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the pics everyone. 1st off - I appreciate that you decided to love your own comment haha 2nd - that blue is a paint type sealant / insulation / guard that some buildings get before the top layer is added. this will remain underneath the brick they will like put over it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbates2 Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 It goes under the brick so it will be covered instead of removed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see that a lot of that with nearly everyone else, but I guess we all choose what we like to concentrate on here.

hindesky Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 They must only have 2 bricklayers on this project, hopefully the interior is coming along because they might not make it by the spring 2019 classes at the rate they are going. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realize you are joking, but they've actually been making very good progress with the brick over the last two weeks, with noticeable changes every day. I count 9 bricklayers right now, and that's just the ones visible from my angle. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobruss Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I drove by today and liked the contrasting colors of brick on the north side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UtterlyUrban Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Brick is good. better than synthetic stucco. but I am sick of beige. would a reddish or brown brick been so shocking to the senses of the 2010’s Houstonian that it would have caused mass revolt? Are we all just beige now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobruss Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I'm just saying that the dark brown brick going on now is a nice contrast to the beige! I hate the beige too. Hell, I wish the building was designed by Zaha Hadid, and was all glass and curvy, but its not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UtterlyUrban Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I am assuming that with all the windows in and that blue material on the sides that this building is “dried in” so that all the work inside is proceeding. Is that a correct assumption? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
