Edith Green-Wendell Wyatt Federal Building

This strange looking building underwent a major renovation between 2009 and 2013 and is considered one of the most energy efficient buildings in the country. Among a long list of features, it has elevators that generate energy as they descend and a 165,000 gallon cistern used to flush low-flow toilets and irrigate native landscaping, The strange looking roof is a bunch of solar panels. It was funded by the American Recovery and Investment Act passed during the Obama Administration. The park in front of the building will be the scene of a demonstration this weekend by a pro-Trump white supremacist group. A changed political landscape.
