Above is a rendering of the proposed renovation/redevelopment of Beacon Hill complex, designed by Rutledge Alcock Architects and Lord Cultural Resources, after months of public meetings and community feedback.

Dave has a report from last night’s presentation on InDecatur, with a few more pictures of the renderings and good, detailed descriptions of the proposed changes.

In a nutshell, the eastern side keeps the old facade of the historic Beacon Hill building, but rotates the gym inside.  The western side features an entirely new police department, and the central courtyard – which features a movie screen on the southern wall – would “serve as a meeting center for the active living, arts, and police components.”, according to Dave.

Dave reports that the cost would be between $15-$20 million.  There currently is no planned funding for this project.
