DESCRIPTION
The Peter W. Rodino Federal Office is a government office building located in Newark, New Jersey. The building was originally constructed in 1968, and the facade was retrofitted in 2013. The retrofit involved mainly repairing the existing precast concrete panels and wrapping the building in a double-skin. The new layer integrated a suspended high-performance curtain wall.
