1. Entrances to the building will provide cover, meet Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) requirements at a minimum, and strive to incorporate Universal Design Principles where feasible. 2. The site will have some covered and open seating hardscape/landscape areas that visually connect to the Court of North Carolina on the north side and enhance the Stinson Drive plaza on the south side. Stormwater impacts will be minimized on site via consideration of vegetated swales, rain gardens, and permeable pavements. 3. The new building skin will use a mix of materials, including brick/masonry, glazed assemblies, and building panels for contextual similarity to neighboring buildings. A tripartite façade design will utilize a hierarchy of mullions, different textures/patterns, and other features to achieve human scale components.
