The design of the building pushes the limits of a typical <br />federal building design. <br />The building is composed of concrete with columns that lean to define the <br />undulating façade. The building was designed to mitigate progressive <br />collapse and blast pressures, which was coordinated with site security. The <br />project is composed of two bars that are 70 feet wide each and are <br />connected by a multilevel atrium, creating an interior courtyard. The width of <br />the bars allow for an open floor plan, permitting daylighting to flood into the <br />building. The project was designed for LEED Gold. <br />The façade of the building is unique due to its integrated, custom-designed <br />sunscreen panels, which are incorporated into a unitized window system. <br />The windows are composed of fritted glass with radio frequency shielding. <br />Thonton Tomasetti designed an above ground, 500-car parking garage and <br />service bay area. The additional annex component houses bays for <br />government fleet vehicles. <br /> <br /> <br />
