New library downtown reportedly buckling due to unstable structure

quote:

First responders are on the scene of the new downtown library, currently under construction, amid reports of instability within the building's structure.

Photos show crime tape around the building, located on North Boulevard.

The Baton Rouge Fire Department is at the scene along with the Mayor's Office.

I thought that design looked f%*ky from the get-go. I'm really not surprised.

Too bad, what a great addition to the downtown this would have been. The young public school students of the community are going to be crushed if this falls over. They are thirsty for knowledge.

No matter. We tore down a library that no one ever used to build a new library that no one will ever use...
