Yesterday marked the official opening of 45 Province. The building is done, and people are moving in! In October 2006 (almost 3 years ago!) I attended the groundbreaking ceremony. Last summer, the topping off ceremony. And yesterday, the ribbon cutting/grand opening ceremony. Per usual, Mayor Menino was there in all his mumbliness. He spoke along with some other important people with lots of money, before they invited us in for a tour of the building. It was quite the mid-afternoon soiree.

I met up with some of my former co-workers to walk around and admire our work. It was so strange/cool/enlightening to see our 2-dimensional drawings turned into physical space. Space seems way bigger on paper. Although my role in this project was more drawing-based than it was designing-based, I felt sort of proud to be there in the finished product with the people that I worked with.
