The building was very sci-fi.
I seem to be one of the few who likes the PWC Grant T. building. I'll admit it was dated by the time it was built, it's still a neat building. The 80's did not reap many good pieces of architecture for this city, it's one of the better. I do wish they built it about twice as big as it is now, its gonna be dwarfed once this sharp new tower is its neighbor. I am glad to see the underutilized plaza gone, it was dingy.
