There’s a lot to watch over on the state government campus these days. We’ve posted before about the ongoing Education Campus that’s taking place across from the Nature Research Center but now we’ll be watching a long-time office building come down. The Bath Building, on the corner of Wilmington and Lane Streets, is being slowly chipped away. It’s probably cheaper to demolish and remove all that liability rather than renovate at this point but I’m not an accountant.

Named after Bath County, the building went up in the early 1970s. It’s looks were a bit controversial as the brutalist style of architecture seems to not be favored that much these days. The state certainly does know how to build and tear things down, that much isn’t going to change any time soon. Get your last photos of it soon before it’s gone and becomes open space for the foreseeable future.
