Intel Shell was an unfinished Intel building located in Austin, Texas. It was imploded on February 23rd, 2007,[1][2] and the Austin United States Courthouse now stands in its place.
Halting the building
[edit]It was halted in March 2001, abandoned from March 2001 to 2004 by pain, because Intel abruptly stopped its construction.[3]
Aftermath
[edit]
A few days after the implosion, David Weaver, tried to sell many bottles that comes with the label "Intel Shell Inside" with the left overs for 20$.[4]
In 2009, a courthouse started its construction process and was completed in 2012, and the Austin U.S. courthouse stands today.[5]
