Construction Update: Global Vascular Institute

wow....thats starting to look really good

During the goobernatorial (spelling seems appropriate for that group...) debate Cuomo did mention UB 2020 as a model to be followed by other communities.

Was this just a bone thrown to WNY, or is this part of his platform? Was the sticking point in the legislature, or is this something he can do something about?

This actually looks better than the renderings!

Exciting! Hopefully this will continue to attract private bio med companies!

Wonderful, simply wonderfu

Really? Then I must be in the minority, because I thought the renderings look better. I was thinking that the actual building looks like a cheap imitation. The clear glass that's inside that swirly thing (for lack of a more technical term) looks flush, while in the rendering there was more of a setback. That differnece in depth made it look more sophisticated in the rendering. Now we just have a multi-colored glass wall, and that's not so interesting.

Yep. Rendering with set-back glass = much cooler, more Jetson-like.

Oh well, at least it's a new building in Buffalo, can't argue TOO loudly!

There's a white "shell" that has yet to be applied- that will give the windows depth as you see in the renderings.

Hopefully, the research at places like this will develop into new and efficient ways to get blood from a stone.

Ugly. What a disgusting addition to the city. A surface lot would have been better. It doesn't flow with the neighborhood. I hate the world.
Kidding, of course. Looks cool. Thumbs up to buildings higher than a Walgreens.

I went to Anchor bar the other day for lunch, I was shocked this is really coming together fast. Definatley a cool looking building. Looks like they are going to pass the federal court house, whats the deal with that project?

Absolutely hideous. "looks cool." What a ridiculous remark.

I think it's called irony.

Is there anyway we can stop this and halt construction. Then when do stop it, when they try to deconstruct it we can protest and stop that from happening, too. Co'mon Buffalo Beast, let's get behind stopping this from happening, you are so good at it.

I dont know maybe its the white paneling of the rendering or the curved edges but something about the design screams Macintosh/Ive inspired design.

Does anyone else see this?

stop this project immediately! then we must preserve it!

Only Buffaloanians would complain about a 300 million dollar building being built in their town.
