It's an amazing building. Often wondered what it was, didn't realize it was Emerald.

It looks good to me, I spent a long time in Pittsburgh one week or so
working with Kirk Weaver, but we were busy and did not get around the
town much at all. I would have loved to have seen that place. Bauhaus in
Pittsburgh. I never would have guessed it.

And if you want more about it:

I love that they're going to have a green roof - we had them back in Britain and it really softens the building so it looks less industrial.
