John Carman, of the landscape architectural company CARMAN that is the lead design firm for the project, said the plaza reconstruction will fully respect the design created by Van der Rohe "with the simplicity of materials and the respect of the plinth created for the plaza as an object in the meadow that is iconic to Van der Rohe's urban buildings."
Carman said the new permeable and recycled materials for the plaza will reduce storm-water discharge into the combined sewer system. He said the materials will be of a similar texture and color of the original terrazzo used for the plaza's construction.

Nana Lampton, chief executive officer of American Life, for many years has focused on developing at the location an environmentally friendly urban atmosphere and, according to a news release, has used the structure "as a model for adapting a building for energy efficiency and green infrastructure."
She said in an interview that the plaza work should take no more than six months and will cost more than $1 million. The rust-appearing, steel building has 128,000 square feet of space and is fully occupied with at least a dozen tenants.
She said the project does not include any work on the exterior of the structure and is intended "to strictly rebuild the plaza." A protective fence has been put up around the building's entire perimeter, but people who work in the building will be able to come and go without restriction.
