Rehab to get a ‘green’ makeover!

Wendell Wyatt Federal Building will soon be getting a green makeover all sponsored by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The $100 million worth renovation project is likely to commence in the months to come, and after about 30-40 months, SERA Architects claim to change the face of the building for better. The main aspect that will be added is a huge 250 feet living green wall that will cover the westerly façade of the building. The trellis and vine fins will allow light in the winter and provide shade in the summer. Apart from this drastic visible change in the look, the building will also have some functional changes like a solar rooftop, smart lighting, efficient elevators and rainwater in the toilets.
