Work on Exterior of Synovus Center Progressing

Work on the Synovus Center, home to the Turner College on CSU's main campus, is progressing. As the accompanying photos provided by Turner Business show, much of the brick exterior along the rear of the building has been removed. The second photo accompanying this post (see below) provides a closer look at the progress thus far, including the large stacks of bricks that will replace those being removed. Although taken from a greater distance, the third photo included with this post provides a glimpse of how much remains to be removed from the rear of the building. One of the Sheridan Construction banners is also visible in this particular image.

As the image below shows, that space is almost ready.
