I know I know, this blog is about Los Angeles. The only problem is besides my favorite building ever located in Las Vegas, the controversy regarding the Harmon in Las Vegas has kept my ears open for any news. So now it seems that part of City Center is dead in the water for who knows how long. For anyone not familiar with the story, everyone missed the fact that the rebar was missing on a certain floor(s) and was found out after building about 10 more floors. This eventually caused the building to be redesigned with many less stories than originally planned. Now the outfall is happening.

This blog is devoted mainly to Los Angeles Civil Engineering. But I saw that my favorite project is about done with construction. That is the Ruvo Brain Center in Las Vegas. This has to be the most insane building I have ever seen, and to top if off this is a mental institute.
Links to the construction pictures.
