Getting kind of wild there is still no renderings

Iā€™m sure this has changed since Project Phoenix was announced in 2018, but this was posted near the beginning of this thread.

I think there is a ā€œfootprintā€ for the new building(S) somewhere in an ASR, but no actual renderings that I remember seeing.

I didnā€™t get a snap of it but I did see demo fencing around the Bath Building so maybe thatā€™s coming down soon as well.

yeah - coming down this year and being turned into green space per this article and interview with N&O - good summary of all the changes coming https://www.newsobserver.com/news/politics-government/article287479690.html

"Once used by the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services as lab and storage space, the Bath Building has been nearly vacant for more than a year. The asbestos abatement process is starting this month, he said.

Once that building is torn down, the block will be turned into green space, Edwards said. Beyond that, there isnā€™t a plan for it, he said."

The very nondescript site plan included in Leoā€™s quoted post is the most Iā€™ve seen to date and confirms that the 2018 rendering is changed. But as far as I know thereā€™s nothing available

I know this is a busy news cycle but it is disappointing that nobody in the press has thought to ask why Paul Coble and Phil Berger are basically doing this by themselves without showing anyone before itā€™s done. Seems less than above board.

Yeah itā€™s actually very strange. Why is it a secret? Who else is approving the final design?

I think itā€™s reasonable to assume that itā€™s shrouded in secrecy because Phil Berger has had a hidden chamber for Satanic ritual orgies/human sacrifice. In an educational building no less. For shame
