One Year Ago Today
Monday, March 23rd, 2009I love looking at finished spaces we occupy today in Alter Hall through the lens of the blog’s timeline. For example, one year ago today this is what the auditorium on the lower level looked like. This view is from stage front looking toward the Montgomery Street wall now covered almost entirely in mural.
Cornerstone Sign
Friday, March 20th, 2009
Signage identifying Alter Hall is making its way around the building from east to west. The “bench” on 13th Street was the first, now we have added an engraved and silver-leafed Alter Hall 2008 on the corner of Montgomery Avenue and 13th Street.
In the next month, signs will appear around the red “drum” surrounding the auditorium and over the main entrance on Liacouras Walk.
Security Desk Arrives
Tuesday, March 10th, 2009
After making do with a twinky-sized, temporary podium since Alter opened in January, our favorite security guard, Dave, finally has a place to call home. Lacking only a logo for its face, the maple panelled station was installed on Monday. The location of the desk gives clearer definition to the entrance, corridor, and atrium space.
1st of the Alter Hall Signs
Wednesday, March 4th, 2009
Last week the first of four signs that will idenify Alter Hall was completed on the 13th and Montgomery side of the building. Here you see a student walking from the “Alter” end of the sign to the “Business” end of what has been described as a “bench,” with the letters forming the back of the bench. The sign reads ALTER HALL FOX SCHOOL OF BUSINESS. In spring grass will be planted between the bench and the building.
