The building is the first phase of Francis Cauffman’s master plan for a full city block in Newark that both engages the site’s diverse surroundings and sets a precedent for future city development. The building features an opaque solid frame and front and the other three facades feature transparent glass. The shape of the building is 50 feet wide and 200 feet long in order to maximize natural daylight in the interior spaces.
