This LEED® Silver® certified project utilizes all natural-stone materials sourced within 500 miles of the site. West Texas Hadrian limestone was utilized in six different patterns with a variety of machine-smooth and split face stone in varied sizes. The limestone was also utilized in half-round radial face column covers, sills with hand-pitched edges, and copings.
The main entry feature and the south side council chamber utilized 8" coursed-height split-face Sunset Red Granite, as well as split-face granite wedges 1-1/4" in thickness cast into precast column covers and hung at either side of the main entry.
