The 10-story building is home to 400 IAC employees and encompasses over 175,000 sf. Designed to express IAC’s innovative, forward-thinking culture, the building features a uniquely shaped façade constructed of cold-warped glass panels specialty treated to enhance environmental efficiency and reduce glare.
