"This building represents one of the first major applications of reflective glass over the entire facade of a building. The reflective nature of the building skin shields the interior from the suns rays as well as providing an attractive appearance. The glass facade allows maximum views from the building's prominent site along Lake Mendota." A Celebration of Architecture: Wisconsin Society of Architects Tour of Significant Architecture, 1979.
