The striking new wing facing the bay, encased by a sloped, multicolor high-performance curtain wall system, adds a touch of the dynamic to its bland 1980 predecessor. Anchoring the bayfront complex at its center, a circular, cascading, sunken water garden (1988), by Zion and Breen of New York City, is surrounded by a vine-covered pergola, creating a lively outdoor space for the facilities.
