Neighbors on Wednesday night got their first look at the design of the future Caterpillar building that will go up west of downtown.
Architects unveiled the design for three-story, 150,000-square-foot building, which will be have a masonry base and copper or copper-inspired panels on top.
“Understanding the regional context was important to us,” said John Tran, design principal with architect firm SmithGroup JJR. “There’s an architectural language that’s pervasive here … from mission style to mid-century.”
