The structure will replace a multi-story garage on the northwest corner of South 9th and Locust streets. Designed by Payette, the structure will feature common areas on the lower levels and research labs on the floors above. No demolition nor construction permits have yet been filed, so it is of little surprise that our site visit has discovered that the garage at the site continues to stay intact, which we documented in the photos below.
