WSU to build $93 million biotech hub

I had not seen the building from the Burroughs side; its larger than I thought. I can see why someone else thought it would be great for lofts.

To get the scope of just how large and majestic this building is, look at the bird's eye view on bing maps. If you zoom out, you can also see how the Dalglish building has no shortage of surface parking surrounding it.

Thanks Downtownguy... I never really noticed that that section between Midtown and New Center is sort of an island unto itself... between I-94 and the railroad tracks.... hence the TechTown title. That building is pretty massive. What a pity to lose such a beauty to another sea of parking...

There is a petition up at Change.org to stop the demo of the ABEI building. Get on it!

Great idea. I will sign this.

The more I think about it, the more this is really, really bugging me. It'd be so stupid to knock down such a gem with so many other empty lots around.

If anybody is in the know and knows of perhaps a public hearing/meeting where this will be discussed at WSU please let me know.

I put the petition up on my FB page, and one of my friends commented how the ABEI building would make a great garage -- if they really think they need parking so bad, which I still doubt as I look at the sea of surface lots surrounding the Dalgleish building.
