WhatUp

Dreary day, but the Artisan is taller than the neighbors: Also, if you look close, the exterior is being installed!

Well, as of just now, there are still quite a few offices with employees still working in them, and the second floor waiting room and parking garage are still very utilized for same day surgery appointments on the second floor of the M building: Yes, the old MBNA (CCAC - Cleveland Clinic Administrative Campus) site still has plenty of empty space and contains most of the finance and HR departments, and almost all new employees have to report to CCAC for onboarding and occupational health screening. Quite a few employees from the old TRW campus next to Legacy Village also relocated to CCAC when CCF sold TRW. The rest went to Independence, like the scheduling call center.

Here is the link the CCF supplied as a way to view the State of the Clinic from a computer or mobile device. https://www.kaltura.com/index.php/extwidget/preview/partner_id/2207941/uiconf_id/45218511/entry_id/1_kx8zi497/embed/dynamic? The relevant info starts at about 14 minutes in 😉 but not much in the way of details.

2/11 as good a vantage point as I could get

Here is the first rendering I have seen of the new CCF Neurology Institute (left) and fresh rendering of the Cole Eye expansion (right). A screengrab from the State Of The Clinic on Wednesday, presented by Dr. Mihaljevic. The pictures were only on screen for a few seconds, and were only mentioned by name, but judging by the scale of people and cars, the new Neurology Hospital is going to be pretty large.

Different view from yesterday:

And here is it's neighbor school receiving it's next life: Memorial Junior High School - An Adaptive Reuse Project This article is from 2/21 and it has a lot more pictures

Belle Oaks construction trailer in place as plans unfold for large Richmond Heights development cle.com article 12/22/21. cinema is closing and will be demolished Project now might include a 159,000 sq.ft. stand alone Meijer. Belle Oaks Website shows a newer site plan. 791 apartment units, 375 in Phase I.

Be my guest. I took them all with my phone, so that's why the quality isn't great. lol Here are a few more I still had that you are also free to use: The stages of the Drury, Allen and black box theater connect These areas were used by all Northeast Ohio police forces for training scenarios The lobby of the Drury and Brooks theater connect note where Rose Iron Works removed their artwork replaced with 2x4s Extra lobby space designed by Philip Johnson Another area of the basement The 1927 original boilers, still in place, but no longer in use. As you can compare to the ladder, these 2 boilers are bout 15 feet tall and just as wide and deep.

Here is the history: Cleveland Play House History We can also add that Jersey Boys Live! was filmed at the complex a few months ago. While I agree that demolition with no real immediate plans is sad, the complex is in bad shape. I explored most of the complex a few years ago, and it is clear where CPH spent all of their money. Case point, their fancy offices on half of the second floor of the SEARS part of the complex: The systems in most of the building are original to the construction of the part of the building they are in. CCF replaced the roof, but because of the additions, the roof continues to leak. The HVAC and manual service elevators (refurbished by Otis who maintains the rest of the CCF elevators) in the old SEARS building are still operating (and fun to use): Main air handler on the roof, original and still in operation. The basement pumps run 24/7, but the basement always contains standing water: The 4 theaters are all still intact (don't have pic of the black box theater): This is the Brooks theater, complete with original wooden seats, and all stage operations which are all still manual and rope. Rose Iron Works bought and salvaged all of the decorative pieces they installed when the theaters opened. The Cleveland Museum of Art Acquires Rose Jazz Age Pieces Here is the Drury theater: Below is the Bolton theater added when Philip Johnson did his thing. The balconies weren't built to support the weight or size of seats and patrons, so there are no seats on them. I saw a play here when I was in elementary school in the 1990s, and I remember it was nice. The CPH left the complex because they couldn't afford to maintain it anymore. I helped one of the theater companies move out of the complex back in 2010. The entire third floor was storage for the theater companies, but half of it is used for construction staging for the companies remodeling the other CCF buildings, like the M building 8th and now 7th floor: The Philip Johnson rotunda is still intact:

Cleveland Clinic Euclid Hospital to Expand Outpatient Services with $1 Million Construction Project From the article: "Cleveland Clinic Euclid Hospital will begin construction in the coming weeks to expand outpatient services. This $1 million project will add 16 examination rooms and two procedural testing suites on the first floor of the R building, which is located on the north side of the campus." "Construction is expected to begin November 2021 with completion of the project in January 2022." "In 2019, a $3.3 million investment was made on the second floor of the R building to create a state-of-the-art 16-bed senior behavioral health inpatient unit."

I was a passenger and got a pic! There are 3 now!

They are installing 2 gantry cranes at the Collinwood Rail yards that you can see very prominently from I90. I know the rules, no picture, no proof, but every time I pass by it's dark. I can't seem to find any info on the new cranes? All the articles I find are about the CSX wide-span, zero-emission electric crane installation in North Baltimore Ohio.

Progress on E.93

On a beautiful day:

Please forgive the glare of the morning sun shining down on progress!

Cleveland Clinic breaks ground at Mentor Hospital. They are planning to have it open "early 2023" Monday, September 20, 2021 Cleveland Clinic Newsroom The facility will include: 34 inpatient rooms 19 emergency beds 22-25 outpatient rooms 4 operating rooms "Mentor Hospital will managed by Hillcrest Hospital." "Cleveland Clinic is investing approximately $80 million to build Mentor Hospital."

They have been remodeling Carnegie Tower 8920 Carnegie Ave. for the last year or so. Replacing the outer walls, and changing the non-concrete exterior from black to cream. Nice to see investment, and it brightens up the building.

I can't compete with @Agreene, but here is a grainy iphone zoomed in update from today. Is working on a Saturday significant?

Work progressing nicely!
