From Tracy Collins: weathered steel facade mock-up visible at corner of Carlton and Pacific

Atlantic Yards Report

Norman Oder covers Tracy Collins's posting of arena "skin" photos.

Yesterday, photographer Tracy Collins visited the southeast corner of Pacific Street and Carlton Avenue, where mock-ups of the Barclays Center weathered steel facade have been posted.

Note that the mockup panel delivery and placement of the footing was originally supposed to come in mid-March, but was delayed two months, and that arena subcontractors were described by a Forest City Ratner executive as behind on producing the pre-weathered steel.
