What a difference a week makes!
So what about the impact to the Civic Center of losing two parking lots?
^^^^^^^^
The existing existing courts building (and former police station) will be demolished in favor of surface parking. Considering the fact that the new police station was built on a lot that was never public parking, it should essentially be a wash.
The Civic Center is a popular venue for graduation events in the Spring. Lack of parking will impact numerous events until old court building is demolished.
The new Main Street parking garage added a ton of spaces very nearby and that garage is empty on nights and weekends.
There was a general public parking lot where the building is going that served the courthouse. It is gone and not sure where people going to court are actually parking now as we usually walk from the office. I know a lot of the attorneys park at the jail and walk over.
We parks where we can, and hopes for the best. It is nice that the meters across the street ringing the jail allow the option for longer than an hour or two. Not often necessary, but appreciated when it is going to be.
nit-picky but isn't this located in the Arts District (for real) and not in the CBD?
The moniker used for this says Business District, any way to change it to AD?
Oklahoma City, the RENAISSANCE CITY!
Man, that kind of looks like a school, too.
That blonde brick is growing on me with so many structures using it now on that side of town.
Does not look good in photos though.
Looks modern & up-to-date. The landscape should polish off this site.
^ ^ ^ Upgraded from this ^ ^ ^
OKC Municipal Courthouse Building
Noticed the core structures have a blend of 2 different shades of brick. The Chesapeake Energy Arena, Block 42, Lift, Lofts & Brownstones @ Maywood.
You mentioned the blonde brick, these structures grow on you with time; also adds to the variety of distinct structures within the area.
Ooo that tilted glass is very attractive. Excellent upgrade to a city building.
I'd like to see the county get on something like this too. That place is a dive!
