The project also restored the historic Meadows Building by removing and reinstalling the Georgia pink marble façade. Damaged stone was replaced with materials sourced from the same quarries as the original stone in 1954. Additional preservation work included reconstructing the second-floor balcony and the original decorative roof design on the Annex building. Doors, hardware, and other specialty pieces were replaced with custom fabrications to match the original building. The Meadows Building received the 2021 Preservation Achievement Award from Preservation Dallas.

COORDINATION
Two stainless-steel sculptures, named Passages and Building Passages, were developed by artists Brad Oldham and Christy Coltrin of the CODAworx art studio. Passages stands 32-feet-tall and was installed in the center of the outdoor plaza area, while Building Passages is 17-feet-tall and 25-feet-wide, located outside the entry way of Building Two.
Both sculptures required structural support because they are located above the underground parking garage and one required electrical service. The team developed a logistics plan and coordinated with the artists to ensure the schedule and project continued with minimal impacts.
