Taking a stroll through Downtown Roanoke, one experiences a cohabitation of the past with the present. The remains of original painted advertisements and the signs of long gone factories overlook the contemporary city streets. With this in mind the redesign does not try to mask the original skeleton of the old bread factory, but clearly states what has been added on, to accentuate and compliment to buildings unique floor plan.
An original art work, Morning Rush, created by Bonnie Mason of the corner of Salem Ave and Williamson Road adorns a central wall on the second floor of the building. Her exterior rendering of the Taubman Museum of Art is mimicked in the appearance of the curtain walls outside of the various collaborative and teaming rooms.
