This is an artist’s version; the real building does not look like that, also is not finished yet. One problem that is not mentioned: there is NO public parking at this site.

And where exactly will patrons of the Arts Center park?? This Arts Center is at the foot entrance to the Station Village Apartments. The only parking there is only available to those residents.
