I agree, it is a great building and should not be demolished.
This is the original BellSouth Building:
Here are the pictures I promised!
Here are a few photos of the new building projects on St. Philip St.
Marion and Wayland Cato, Jr. Center for the Arts, corner of St. Philip and Calhoun (Francis Marion Hotel in the background)
note: as painful as College Lodge is to look at, it actually has the biggest rooms on campus!
St. Philip St. Project:
Looking south from St. Philip and George (Upperclassman condo side)
Looking east from St. Philip and George (Upperclassman condo side)
Parking garage at about mid-block
Looking back northward on St. Philip toward parking garage
Looking east on Liberty St. (lowerclassman residence hall/cafeteria side)
School of Education Building project, scheduled to open Spring 2007, corner of Wentworth and St. Philip
North end of the building, the darker facade is original and used to be the Yo Burrito! that moved across the street (thank goodness).
The middle of the building will remain open, presumably for the main entrance and some green space (sorry for the flip)
Looking north on St. Philip from Wentworth (Note the EQ bolts!)
Looking east on Wentworth from St. Philip (Andolini's, best pizza in town is on the far right)
Thats the whole ball of wax!
