This is done by the use of materials, colors, scale, etc. Now don't get me wrong, overall it's a nice facility, but it would look better in another city.

However, realistically when budgets are set and value engineering takes place the facility will look nothing like this anyways. These renderings are typically eye-candy for the community to get all excited and that is it.
