The expansive site involved the redevelopment of Northrop Grumman’s decommissioned aerospace manufacturing facility. Originally the site held one building but it was split into three, with an added courtyard and breezeway in between and a newly constructed park.
Original building features such as skylights, gantry cranes and freight elevators were kept intact and incorporated into each structure's updated architectural design. Original historical window frames were kept intact after abatement for lead paint and reglazed. The original sawtooth roof design was retained, as well as the exposed wood on the underside of the roof deck. The original mezzanine was also kept in place and original mezzanine flooring was refinished.
