200-million dollar Bloch Building will open to the public on June 16, 2007
We're all waiting to see what the Butler Building looks like on the inside. So far, what we haven't seen has been the selling point for the new addition. As usual, the only honest commentary will come from the Internet and the few people in this town who aren't on the payroll of the muckety-mucks who will destroy you if you don't embrace their bad ideas.

Bendheim Wall Systems provided the striking channel glass for the Bloch Building, which features about three times the amount of channel glass serving as the rainscreen at the Shaw Center for the Arts/Baton Rouge and five-story atrium at the Minneapolis Central Library. We are proud to be the striking curtainwall material enclosing the lenses in what Steven Holl has described as his masterwork. More information at the website of JE Dunn, the Bloch Building’s general contractor, www.jedunn.com/projects.aspx?pgID=1106&catid=16&pid=114. LINIT channel glass is also a featured material on the exterior of another Holl project, the Swiss Embassy residence in Washington, DC which will open this fall, as well as Diller Scofidio + Renfro's ICA museum in Boston, opening this fall as well. For more information about Bendheim Wall Systems and LINIT channel glass, call Marc Fink at 800-221-7379 X223.
