Devon Energy Center

Gotchya. Well, I guess that's good pub for Nebu.

Does anyone know when they will finally turn on the blue accent lighting? It looks like the entire exterior on the main skyscraper is completed. They have red light bulbs at the top already turned on, so I'm waiting on the bluey.

I doubt as if anyone "knows". I would harbor a guess that they'll do it when the NBA playoffs start, but I could well be wrong on that.

well the tests keep going higher and higher on the building.. but who knows when it will actually LIGHT UP!.. I would think they would think they would have a dedication before fulling illuminating it.

[Pete]

Other than the very top, their last round of testing only went up to about the 28th floor.

They still have to test every single floor and they haven't even started that process for almost half of them.

I'm beginning to think that the entire system won't be operational for several more months, but perhaps they'll light the crown for the playoffs.


Remember that last year Devon flew big Thunder banners and while this has been approved for many downtown buildings this year, Devon is not one of them. That leads me to believe they will do something with the LED lights instead.

Noticed on News9 this morning their "Sandridge SkyCam Network" had a nice shot of Devon close up and the LED's (those functioning) were lit, went from blue to red and were brightest I've seen yet!

[Pete]

I understand the LED lights in the crown will be even brighter than the rest of the building and it was my impression there would be more of them in those areas as well.

Any answer why the devon tower is up on Google-earth 3-D? With it up, it would advertise our city in a more exciting way

[soonerwilliam]

Could someone take some skyline pics, now that the glass has been installed. I'm guessing they've finished by by now. Also, Pete could the cam be put back on the tower again at least for awhile? Thanks!

[skanaly]

Glass isn't finished. I was there today

I was downtown last night. It looked like only the lowest set of holes on the west side had been glassed in.

[soonerwilliam]

Disappointed about the glass. I thought they would be through by now. Still would like to see the cam moved back to the main tower again.

I agree with both^

[Pete]

We'll get the cam pointed back up in the next couple of days.

[soonerwilliam]

Thanks Pete

How is the ground construction work coming along? Havent seen any new updates in ages.

[Pete]

Cam is once again pointed at the top half of the tower.

Hopefully we'll soon catch some of the LED testing in the crown:

Was down there today. There is still a lot of landscaping work to be done as well as some water features. I've heard Sheridan is supposed to be open in front of Devon in less than a week but the south entrances will not be open due to construction for some time to come.

At least Sheridan will be open by the Arts Festival.

[Pete]

Could somebody please take some photos, especially of the park, Sheridan, and auditorium?

Thanks!

[G.Walker]

Noticed on my way to work, they have added more windows where the cranes were attached, looks like they might be done with this by the end of the week!

[Pete]

From today...

Looks like they are in the process of replacing the few remaining windows on the east side.

[SoonerBoy18]

At least Sheridan will be open by the Arts Festival.

I forgot about the Arts Festival, do you know when that event begins?

[shawnw]

One week from today
