Amount of progress and let me just characterize what you are going to see this morning as conceptual design in nature. We really have not quite started the full fledged design process. That is waiting for obvious reasons for various approvals. But we have engaged in an extraordinary successful collar collaboration with the San Francisco Planning Department staff and so the design that you are going to be seeing i would characterize as the result of a very, very healthy collaboration with staff and we are quite proud of it. So i just need this here. And this is an image, several images that you are going to be familiar with. It simply puts the towering context and this is clearly one of the most important building complexes and we do see the Transit Center and the tower. And with the center with the roof, top, park and with all of its services and amendies, adjacent to it, is the large tower. The tower of course is a key participant in the financial district of San Francisco and we thin
Update for today. It is now displayed to the public at the academy of science and that will run for a number of months. So we would like to thank the California Academy for putting on display the mammoth tooth. And we will be looking for a new home in 2013. And finally on october 17th we had number one of our regularly Schedule Committee meetings to provide a construction update to our neighbors. So everything that moving along well. Now to give our construction update with steve turner. Good morning, directors. Steve, ru, with turner construction, construction oversight. I dont know. Is that up . There it is. Another good month, of work or almost a month and a half since we filled you in on the last period. There were no recordable incidents. We did have one near miss. But, brought to light some issues with the excavation process of sight lines and so that has been dealt with successfully. And allowing the excavator to work while the folks down below were able to position themselves a
Good morning, directors. Steve, ru, with turner construction, construction oversight. I dont know. Is that up . There it is. Another good month, of work or almost a month and a half since we filled you in on the last period. There were no recordable incidents. We did have one near miss. But, brought to light some issues with the excavation process of sight lines and so that has been dealt with successfully. And allowing the excavator to work while the folks down below were able to position themselves appropriately so they are not in the way of it. We have 550,000 craft hours now, about 60,000 since the last update. 157, chefs, and i will show you the chart for that in a little bit and the excavation continues into zone three, and 1, 2, 3. Some of the other activities, have been awarded and submitals have begun. And the final utility, relocation package 4. 2, the aux silry package is under way and we will work through the holidays on Mission Street and will continue on early into 2013 a
And they did that deliberately to make sure it doesnt apply to go into those windows. Thank you because i cant expect too much more and is compliant to go up that other floor and they will look all the that but they also will get a lot of light coming in with the tenfoot separation yeah, that is something that we will have a very deep almost like 19 feet all the way down. And certain, there is no motion on anywhere we can do any little tweaking to make anymore space for the light wells i would appreciate it. I have personally look at this other plan inch by inch to squeeze out every single bit of space that i could to try to match the adjacent deck on one side on the upper on the back and the front as close as i can and yes, commissioner is correct, you could try to push some of it back, to get the back deck set back a bit more deeper but, there is a lot of because of this i couldnt do both. Because it means taking three andahalf feet out and staircase going down [inaudible] well proba
Addition to the Design Thinking and i will show you in a few minutes how that might appear from the outside. You see the Mission Square with about 20 California Redwood trees and a very beautiful grove and this is all designed with the peter walker and partners and in among the trees is a fanicular accessible to the park itself. I would say that one of the key under lays of the work that we are doing here has to do with security. We are going to have over the process of the coming design, several ongoing discussions with the tj pa, it is very important that security be managed jointly between the tower and the center. We are beginning to have the concepts for the security in the square and the lower parts of the center, so to say that is an important part of our agenda. This is looking at your standing across the street at first and mission looking back to 101 first street. Although it might be hard to see on this slide, the lower five floors of the building actually have a slightly he
