“It is a safer building, it is a healthier building, it is a more energy efficient building,” says Murphy. “It is a building in which the business of government can be more effectively practiced. It is a building that is once again befitting a proud state.”
Officials honored the late Ray Arcario, who headed the state Building Authority and spearheaded the renovation project. He died last year. His family was in attendance at Monday’s ceremony.
