The limestone anchoring was very complex and unaccommodating to the air barrier system. The sealing process, while not un-ordinary, was very difficult and tedious. The exterior façade had several different finishes: limestone, brick, curtain wall and metal panels. The framing/sheathing of the building returns in and out throughout the entire façade of the building, requiring a substantial amount of detailing. There were very few flat open surfaces for area receiving air barrier. The schedule was fast paced and required a large amount of overtime.
