Here’s what the completed building will look like. [Source: Aedas, Flad & Associates]I walked by the construction site of the ‘Building Cure’ today.
It’s here in downtown Seattle near Denny Way. It is the new building for Seattle Children’s Research Institute to expand into. The Institute’s scientists develop cures and therapies for childhood diseases such as cancers, sickle cell anemia and type 1 diabetes.
The Institute has grown from just 40 employees in 2006 to more than 1,500 today.
The 13 floors are done, and now the glass and steel cladding (aluminum?) goes on. Those round pillars stand at angles to each other to form the facets of the building’s sides. I hope the construction was not too much of a nightmare.Colorful artwork on an electrical box on the pavement, by the existing Seattle Children’s Research Institute building.
