ISO Photos/Info: Old Arco Building 15375 Memorial Dr
 |
The architecture of this building was really friggin cool. Straight out of the 80s with big atriums, drive in parking right into the middle of the building. It's original tenant was Arco and then later I believe Transocean and finally GlobalSanteFe before the entire property was bought out by Skanska in 2011 and soon demolished. Lake Thicket pictured on the north side of the property was leveled to great anger from the community. When I was a kid, circa 2011, a friend and I snuck in and explored the building when it was in the process of being demolished one evening. It really was quite beautiful from an architectural standpoint, and eerie at the same time. I remember tons of orange sodium-filament bulbs illuminated the building, like a refinery. Unfortunately there are no photos that remain on the web. Curious if anyone has photos from the building or whether anyone has info on the architectural firm? Or maybe anyone that could simply shine some light as to what it was like working here? submitted by /u/HtownTouring |
