The exterior bricks are now being applied to the new home of the Williamson College of Business, a 110,000 sq ft (that's huge) LEED certified structure, designed to connect YSU's campus with the core of the downtown.
In the distance, you can see the steeple of the First Presbyterian Church of Youngstown, the oldest church in the Western Reserve.
The church was founded on the first of September 1799, when this part of the world was a claim of the state of Connecticut - over 210 years ago.
To the left, you can see the newly-painted communications tower. At night, the gleaming red letters of YSU really widen the illuminated footprint of downtown.
You can see more pictures of what the exterior and interior will look like here.
To the left of the picture below, you can see the YWCA of Youngstown - also undergoing massive renovation at the moment.
The $8.1 million YMCA project will include 30 housing units and will restore parts on the building back to its 1911 grandeur.
At the base of one side of the building are the massive letters WILLIAMSON.
If what you see here excites you, consider giving to the construction campaign for the building.
Currently a $1.2 million matching grant by the Kresge Foundation is promised - but only if YSU can raise $2.4 million by December 31st.
That's in three weeks!
