r ligOi! ■ ■« u5 iiiii Neighborhood changes For South Quad residents especially, the construction caused some inconve- nience. Traffic on 24th Street was restricted to one lane each direction and sidewalks were temporarily removed. InterNorth began construction of the first phase in the Spring. This phase in- cluded landscaping, a new headquarters building and a parking-ramp structure. Creighton will have the use of Sheridan Hall until August, 1984, when InterNorth will raze the struc- ture for its office complex. Over the next several years, more work will be started on the complex. Eventual- ly, it will contain several buildings, suffi- cient parking and a man-made lake as the centerpiece of the office park. The InterNorth Center was designed to mesh aesthetically with the surrounding area, including Joslyn Art Museum and Central High School. To the north, construction has included apart- ments in the Kellom Heights Redevelopment and the Metro Area Transit Garage.
