Building Design and Features

The McKesson Plaza was finished in 1969. It was designed by a famous architect named Welton Becket. He liked to use repeating shapes and natural stone on the outside of his buildings.

The area around the building was designed by SWA Group. They created a special space with an octagonal (eight-sided) opening. This opening leads to a Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) station, which is a train system. The area also has trees, shops, and granite steps where people can sit.
