Foundation revisited

Is Kerr-McGee having a clearance sale? Last week they announced a deal to sell off three unused properties for residential conversion, and today the Urban Design Committee is looking over the plans for a new headquarters building for the Oklahoma City Community Foundation, to be built on a lot at 10th and Broadway that's being sold by Kerr-McGee.

The Foundation won't have to move very far — three blocks or so — but the new structure will give them twice the space they're enjoying in the old Kilpatrick Oil Company building off 13th. And when's the last time something was actually built on Automobile Alley?

The project architect is David Hornbeek of Edmond, one of the designers of the upcoming American Indian Cultural Center.

Update, 17 November: The Urban Design Committee has approved the plans, requiring only minor changes.
