Does anyone know if the restaurant will have windows above where you dine, to see the night sky? Would be awfully nice if they do.

Avoid it, perhaps, during hailstorms.

Larry Nichols said this morning that construction of Vast will be completed in mid-August and it is slated to open October 1. The Colcord restaurant opens on Monday.

Appreciate you Pete.

Here's a screen capture from tonight's Thunder game.

You can see Vast Restaurant starting to take shape at the bottom of the "V"; the highest brightly lit floor is #44:

Here's another from early on:

Thank you, Pete!

In this last shot, the backside of the tower's top 3 'wings' almost looks like they could be used for solar panels. Any chance this might be the case?

No.

Assuming they would be willing to cover up the glass ceiling.

It would be terribly inefficient, one is at an angle the sun totally misses it half the time the sun is up. The other two not only are facing the wrong way from the sun half the time, in the morning and evening one will block the other.

Just wondering, what's the significance of "Floor 44?"

Just wondering, what's the significance of "Floor 44?"

Just pointing out it is the highest floor with permanent lighting, showing how far they've come in finishing out the interior.

They have been working their way up the tower and only have a handful of floors left to finish out.

Larry Nichols also said that the exterior lighting on the side of the building would not be functional until sometime after the summer.

Where are you seeing/hearing this quotes from Nichols?


See my post here for more details about the LED lighting (I should have said July would be the earliest this would be complete):

[MDot]

Not sure how long it's been done but all the glass on the west side is in now.

[yukong]

Must be since Thursday, because on Thursday morning, the 3 panes that were highest up were still missing.

Welcome to the site!

For now, you have to enter the building through the north entrance, which is on Harvey near the downtown library. Or, you can enter from the east, more or less behind the IRS building and the Colcord Hotel.

They should be close to having the west entrance open on Harvey, just north of the new auditorium.


The main south entrance should be getting close too, but I think they are still a couple of weeks out.

[Pete]

Just heard that the new south entrance to the Devon complex should be open sometime next week.

Should be really exciting to get that part done, draw people into the park and connect the entire complex to the Myriad Gardens.

Will really be a game-changer for that part of downtown.

What are the hours of the Rotunda? Tried to show my kids on a weekend and it was closed. Presume it's only open weekdays, but until when?
