Here we go with the renderings again. First thing: I don't believe that is going to be the actual color. It's probably just to easier distinguish between the proposed new construction and the existing building.

Second thing: It looks like there are some exterior finishes still to be determined [[such as a roof). Since this is new construction, they aren't really relevant to this DDA proposal at this stage as they would be if this was a historic renovation.

Every time I find myself getting worked up about one of these renderings, I think back to the "egg shaped" dome that we were supposed to have built next to Comerica park and how much better that one eventually turned out to be.
