Gannett/USA Today Headquarters
IMAGES:
The façade of the new Gannett/USA Today Headquarters is a composition consisting of three elements: a glass elevator shaft, a narrow, transparent circulation block, and a curtain wall with vertical glass mullions. Viewed from the adjacent highway, the glass mullions animate the building façade through the reflection and refraction of light on this 350,000-sq.-ft. custom-designed curtain wall.
Freestanding office building enclosed in reflective and transparent glass.
