The colors range from dark brown at the base to mirror tree bark, and grow progressively lighter, making the building appear taller. Green window panels punctuate the façade to represent the tree’s leaves.The building is such a unique highlight in the skyline that it has transformed MassArt’s image and presence along the Avenue of the Arts.
