Capitol Campus Heritage Building

Submitted by Just another voice on Tue, 09/30/2008 - 5:27pm.

Thought I would pass along some views provided by the state on the new heritage building at the Capitol Campus. This new building will dramatically change the view of the hillside from Heritage Park, and will remove most of the tree-scape along the east hillside according to the pictures.

As we talk about the vision of this area by the original architects, I wonder where this building fits?

I've heard that it is to be designed LEED, but I don't think they've made any definite promises.

Total cost is about $141 million for the new 'Heritage Center' which will be a very big improvement from the existing building-- in aesthetics and design.
