I wouldn't pay a dollar more than $27m for Hale.  Final offer, guys.

So, you could build the whole thing for $60M (at a normal office building cost of $150/sqft) and we're supposed to believe that the fire damages are half of that total?

I'd say leave the smoke damage and use the $30m to make it 50% bigger.  Bam.

i like how they are saying it’s $30M of smoke damage.   ever wonder how the smoke damaged the building and the fire didn’t?  how is this even possible? (hint: it’s not).  me thinks that there’s something strange about the way that they are handling this and even more so when certain posters here defend their cost estimates.  hmmm

anyone else find it odd that Smoke Patterson hasn't made any official statement about this?

I think the lack of heat damage is pretty odd. Seems like heat would cause some damage, too.

hot air rises.  wouldn’t that mean the smoke (hot air) would rise into the sky above the library?  but it didn’t? yes this smoke has all sorts of magical properties, very mysterious indeed.

someone should have spent a few more hours working on this cover up

Did not know that Hale Library was an artisanal library.

Depending on the type of sprinkler system installed, a lot of the time more damage is done from all the water. Gyp board walls don't do well when they get that wet, so the interior walls would all have to be replaced. Hopefully the structural members were properly fireproofed but if not, the heat from prolonged exposure to smoke and fire could compromise the structural integrity.

All that being said, I do think there are some shenanigans, boondoggles, and possibly even some tom foolery at play here.

The fireproofing corner was clearly cut.

Hale's first floor has re-opened and is a site to behold as it is beautiful. :ksu:
