The generous plazas of these buildings, one at each corner of Howard and First, were conceived as one large plaza bisected by the streets. The plazas were built at the same elevation and feature black granite. In the northeast and southeast plazas, a row of stacked granite blocks at sitting height delineates the sidewalk’s edge, with a larger granite block marking the corner. In the northwest building, plastic planters replace granite blocks. Each plaza has tulip trees in large planters with seating, and a major piece of sculpture. The southeast plaza has adjacent food services with moveable tables and chairs. Plaques indicating plazas are open to public are needed. Needed improvements: eye-level signage and moveable seating
