Big news there.

As I linked earlier in the thread Thorton Tomasetti did the engineering on US Bank.

No sense reinventing the wheel, sure there a lot of lessons learned that can cut time and cost from this job.

Danny's Construction also worked on US Bank.

It looks like, at least in this mockup, that they're using the same footprint of the dome, so I can't see how they'll get much wider concourses in there.

So that drawing is showing a connection to Archbold and a new building (hotel?) on the west end of the Dome.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Hmmmm, is that the hotel between the Dome and the law school to the west...??

THUNDERDOME !!

looks like North & East sides are expanded out. If you look at the other rendering i believe that's looking from Archbold towards the highway.

I know with the EFTE roof in Minneapolis, they are planning on doing flyovers again when it opens.

I think this is a real possibility. Of course, the A-10 are long gone and there are no more manned flights out of Hancock, but maybe a flyover could be arranged from Fort Drum?

You caught me in mid-edit .. i was trying to input the roof material and was looking up-thread for the acronym. It doesn't have to be the A-10, but it'd be nice if we can find one still flying. Any fighter would do .. -18, or maybe one of those new, $170M stealth -35's. Mark, maybe they can load it with a "thunderDome" mission module.

So is that a roof deck on the nearest end?

We need a helicopter landing area to bring recruits over from Hancock.

Pretty cool if that is what we end up with, here's a look at the dome from close to the same angle as the drawings.

 

[GoCuse08]

This looks awesome and you'll still get that dome feeling as you drive up the highway and it comes into sight. I love it.

I agree with you 100%

Interesting comparison shot .. the new design looks, ummm, quite a bit more updated and attractive, even SOA.

It's always good to have an erection partner.

This build-out could be pretty cool depending on what it houses.

New Box Office and Entranceway?

 

[shandeezy7]

The phrase "our erection partner" in that press release made me realize just how immature I still am.

 

[xc84]

looks like possible tower to house escalators and elevators:

It's a nice look, though I don't believe they'll go with it.

Funny that their design program seems to have the sun rising in the north-northeast - check out the shadows.

What if it lasts longer than 4 hours?

If the press release said fabrication starts this June (less than a week away), why don't you believe they'll go with it?

Just what I hear. I expect a less symmetrical design without such a heavy Archbold connection and (though it's difficult to see in this rendering) different loading/parking orientation at the Raynor/Irving intersection.

Wow if this turns out to be the final result I will be 110% thrilled
