The Federal Building at Islip is the third consecutive building on the survey by Richard Meier. The steel-framed structure is clad in white-coated aluminum panels. Granite and cherry wood provide elegance on the interior. The public façade is glass and offers views of the Atlantic Ocean.

Gary:

This building has way a way too industrial, built from leftover parts look for a courthouse. As a one time Islip resident, I can attest that the building is not at all attractive. It sticks out on the landscape out of all proportion to anything around it.
