Has anyone been inside to say how updated the interior of the building is as well?

I have been inside multiple times. The building is actually fairly bright inside, which is a bit surprising.
The issue with a full reclad to possibly be closer in look to the all glass towers is the window washing setup. The building doesn't have any external systems to support washing the windows. They windows in the tower all rotate to allow for someone inside to wash both the inside and outside of the windows.
There have been continued discussions regarding a reclad of the building but it wouldn't change much. As many have pointed out, the primary sections discussed are the Center North stairwells and the lower wings (east/west). The wings, if reclad would include additional windows.
There hasn't been any other details moved on the possible reclad over the last 10+ years. This could be because of the limited space to move employees around during the reclad process.
