Spertus Underway
Found myself walking down South Michigan Avenue this morning, so I clicked these pics of the construction site of the Spertus Institute's new home.
The groundbreaking for the Spertus was October 7, though it appears that was more a ceremonial start than a construction start. From the looks of things today the demolition needs to be hauled away and then excavation can start for the building's foundation.

It might not be too exciting yet, but it's good to see things underway on what should be a great contribution to Chicago, and more specifically the Michigan Avenue streetwall overlooking Grant Park.
