If it’s built like the former Nasif Building in SW DC at L’Enfant Plaza, by the same architect and of similar design, they are endanger of a marble facade panel falling on them. Nasif was also a piece of crap building. It was formerly the DOT HQ.

I recall that when it was built in the 60’s, the architecture critic for the Washington Post wrote that its proportions made it unattractive. He compared it to a woman’s figure which instead of being 36-24-36, was 66-54-66. He was correct, both with regard to how it looks from the outside and how it looks from within. Worse still, I can’t think of one venue on the inside which is good: the concert hall and the opera house are only mediocre, at best.
