The slight variation in colour, and the efflorescence on some panels suggests the cladding may be terracotta.

In that case this actually might turn out pretty nice. Always assumed it was going to be all metal panels.

Quote:
The composition of the facades is enhanced by the use of colour. The
earth and dust from which people are born and return is expressed
predominantly in ochre, copper and clay tones. This range of colour
is used as a “forward welcoming embrace” at key locations such as
the public-facing West Block façade. To breakdown the large building
massing and to contrast with the forward earth tones, dark gray/black
is used to create recessive, shadowed areas of the facades. Areas of
distinction such as the Chapel and the Main Entrance, are highlighted
against the dark gray/black pedestrian-level podium in light gray
masonry.
