In the middle of August, I drove north to check on the changes at the Orange County Government Center. The interior lighting has been installed and you can see they are finishing up. Even some of the construction fencing has begun to come down. Sadly, the new building isn't looking any better–sure the cladding will remove the blue color, but the silver envelope of zombie modernism remains.
Part 2 of an ongoing series as the new construction wraps up. View part 1 here, my original post here and the full Orange County Government Center project here.
