Abstract

The 55-story building, which encompasses a total of 2.2 million square feet, was designed by Cook + Fox Architects, LLP of New York, NY, with the objective of becoming the most environmentally responsible high-rise office building in the U.S. Contributing to the building's distinctive stature is an extensive amount of stone from India - supplied by Hindustan Granites Inc. of Hauppauge, NY - which was employed throughout the building's public spaces as well as for exterior paving. According to Cook + Fox Architects, a goal of the project was to be the "most environmentally responsible high-rise office building in the U.S., focusing on sustainable sites, water efficiency, indoor environmental quality, and energy and atmosphere."
