CU-ICAR/Millennium Campus

[RestedTraveler]

That sounds and looks like a pretty cool parking garage. Thanks for the link to the article! I didn't notice it when I was looking through the Greenville News previously.

Can't wait to see this addition to ICAR!

[goodbye]

I just read this! I got all excited when I first read tower, only to find out that i will be 4 stories! , but I'm not complaining, just look at what Hubbell is doing and it's 4 stories!

I thought this was cool: driving down Laurens Rd at about Big O Dodge (I think, maybe before)- you can see the constuction of the Hubbell Lighting headquarters rising above the tree line! I'll try to get a picture...

Plus keep in mind that the Hubbell building will be five stories in one section, making it taller than the current height.

From the Frontage Rd at the Point:

From Laurens Rd:

Hahaha! It looks like we were both on the same wavelength, GvilleSC! I just posted a couple photos from this morning over on the Hubbell Lighting HQ Construction Thread, too.

[goodbye]

Thanks for the visual reference, GvilleSC. Now just imagine a couple decades into the future....

I rode through Greenville last night on my way to Atlanta and was wondering whether that building was to be the Hubbell HQ building. It makes for somewhat of an imposing presence from I-85; good stuff.

[gs3]

Great shots GvilleSC!

[Spartan]

That building will have a great presence on 85. The view going north is awsome

Not noticable from the interstate, so some of you might not have noticed with out driving through ICAR, but another building has a started in the cluster containing BMW. And site work is underway for a thrid right beside BMW, looks like Iron for that would should be going up soon.

[goodbye]

Thanks, btoy! One of these is the Timken building, but I'm not sure which one yet.

[GvilleSC]

This is exciting! Now all we need is for SCDOT to fix the Laurens Rd-I85 interchange before all of these places open and all hell breaks loose at rush hour.

So true!!!!

Some nice fly-over ramps would be good - something to allow you to get a view of the whole complex as well as maybe downtown.

Edit: Not that I ever take my eyes off of the road in front of me...

Of course not, RT.

www.pazdan-smith.com has renderings and photos of Colaboration 1,2 (spec Building) and Colaboration 3 (timken?) on their website. Collaboration 3 is the building underconstruction.

[goodbye]

Yes, Collaboration III is the name of the Timken building. I am a bit disappointed it is such a flat structure. Hope the exterior is nice anyway.

[btoy]

I think it had to be flat becuase it was designed with the possibility of adding to more floors to it. Maybe if or when they add those floors in the future it will be less flat.

Thanks btoy! I just checked this link out. The buildings look great!

I generally dislike the architechture that they will be using at ICAR. Not just this group, but all of it. I don't think it will age very well. Its too 'modern' for my tastes.

[btoy]

I have felt the same way as well, but I think that they want them to look modern when you think High Technology. It is an image thing, ya, they probubly won't stand the test of time, but it portrays a high tech image.

I compare the architecture to the contemporary European designs I've seen. In that view, I can justify liking these, even though the new "modern-style" highrises with flat roofs to be built in the Millennium Campus may be a tremendous disapointment. I just hope Verdae develops a few with more pleasing features. In any case, ALL of this will be a great thing for Greenville!

[btoy]

I love glass towers with flat roofs, to me that is truly American in style.

[Spartan]

I don't like contemporary European building either

I do appreciate glass buildings with flat roofs. Or not flat But just look at the buildings from that link. Those are the type of thing that I don't like.

[goodbye]

I've noticed a large crane beginning construction on a new building or garage next to the BMW facility. Anyone know what this will be?
