My thought is that Facebook might be behind the upgrades, if in fact they are switching out the metal screens for glass. Maybe Facebook doesn't want the cheap option on their Austin flagship location? Just speculation on my part.
I think Facebook is the prime candidate for this proposed upgrade, I don't think Bank of America would be one to care much how their building looks, but I may be mistaken. As with all projects, I will believe it when I see it, and hopefully we see change soon to get this eyesore removed.
