The $122 million project included major renovations and additions to the existing building, including a sub-grade parking garage. The designers at DG2 worked with KCI Construction Company and Fentress Architects to develop a design for the surrounding streetscapes. A native plant palette was used to provide a planting design that includes street trees, screening, and custom concrete planters. The project achieved a LEED Silver Certification.
