Located adjacent to a main highway, the building is organized to accommodate five floors of flexible office space. Expansion of the original structure i.s provided in two phases to the east and west. The glass on the southern side is recessed behind the exposed concrete structure, creating an integrated sunscreen which redefines the sculptured facade. The entrance to the building is through the tower element., which contains a five-story1 atrium and the elevator system. Access to each floor is from a balcony overlooking the atrium with views to downtown Greensboro.
On the north, the glass is flush with the floor edge to create an opposite facade reading. Three types of glass;—clear, spandrel, and frosted—are used to articulate floor, sill, and suspended ceiling data.
In contrast to the exposed concrete frame, the entrance tower is clad in white tiles, glass blocks, and whin; porcelain panels. The tower element is in counterpoint to the object/frame reading of the main structure, and also redefines the entry plaza and the landscape between building and parking area.
Using basic construction technology, this generic building type is transformed by innovative planning, structural clarity, and the use of integrated sunscreens that provide both environmental control and facade articulation.
