Interior touches include attractive lighting fixtures; Plyboo bam- boo laminate panels; a variety of colors in furnishings; a relocated, updated cafeteria with ample space; and a high curtain wall of triple-glazed glass with a frit on the build- ing’s southern exposure—a set of respons- es to heat gain in the climate of Arizona.
