Arden D. Freeman of Built Form is the project’s architect of record. Previous drawings for a canceled office project showed a large glass curtain wall, though this design has likely changed due to the shift in usage. No updated drawings or renderings could be found, although the exterior appears to integrate a gray-toned brick cladding based on current construction progress.
