Actually, after reading through their PDF, I think the detailing of the facade may be decent. They seem to have a good grasp of materiality and facade detailing... their list of Portland precedents includes a number of nearby university buildings (for better or worse) - they've done their homework. The facade is all metal panel and fully glazed; the envelope is pretty fleshed out in their elevations but not the 3d model. The banding in the middle and the massing is pretty odd, tho - it does seem too hectic compared to their portfolio.

Also, their landscape architect seems to have done a bang-up job in designing a match for the pedestrian street along Montgomery, so that is *really* good news.
