DESCRIPTION
Byron Rogers Federal Building is a government office located in Denver, Colorado, USA. The building was originally constructed in 1965, and the facade was retrofitted in 2013. The larger facades were built with glass curtain walls, while the shorter ones incorporated concrete with aggregate marble. The retrofit involved mainly facade repairs. Due to the historic character of the building, insulation and restoration of current windows with an additional pane of glass was implemented from the interior.
