Facts
Architect Cesar Pelli has called the Wachovia Center his best building, likening it to a rosebud ready to bloom. He used local Moravian themes in the design, including the Moravian arch (dome and entrance) and the Moravian Christmas Star (marble mosaics in the lobby).
The building is sheathed with Olympia white granite from a single quarry in Sardinia, Italy.
It is the only granite domed skyscraper in the world. The dome encloses mechanical equipment and rises 56 feet.
It surpassed Winston Tower as Winston-Salem's tallest, and is also the tallest building in the Carolinas outside Charlotte.
The gardens around the site were designed by Cesar Pelli's wife Diana Balmori, a landscape architect.
Wachovia sold the building to American Financial Real Estate Trust in 2004, but will continue to lease space there.
