Expansion simply means more of an ugly building. It's the wrong size, doesn't interact with the street, it occupies the entire block without having a public space, it has very few windows and if all of this wasn't enough it's in bad state of disrepair.

It was built with a public square at the corner of King & Frederick, and open stairs up to second floor patios overlooking the square and the streets. Essentially all the parts that are now green glass were originally open.

Edit: found a photo.

Thanks for the picture. I had only seen a photo when market square had an extra floor added. This picture really highlights the brick brutalism  (brickalism/briquelism?) I was talking about as well as how poorly designed that public square was.
