on edit: Oops, I see tsarstruck posted the same thing on the Philly IX thread. Oh well, here it is again!

the two images look very different probably very preliminary (and only saw the from tsar first

I think they either need to go very Greek/Roman or very modern glass with the all - anything in the middle will look odd IMHO

I don't think its really an active firehouse. I've never seen a truck come out of it.

[blart]

Correct, it's not an active firehouse. I believe it's used for administrative functions, training, or public relations... something along those lines.

Oh! Interesting...

Nice update on College House at Hill Square! Thanks for that! Anyone know if there will be tower cranes for this?

My guess would be no, since the footprint is quite spread out, the structures won't be very tall, and there's plenty of room to move around the mobile cranes.

But watch: they'll erect a tower crane or two this weekend just to make me look like a fool.

It's actually been underway for quite a while, now, and Penn maintains a couple of live webcams of the construction:

I know Inga wrote a stern review for this plan, but it's certainly better than what is currently here...
