This link to the pdsonline with the city shows one example of the exterior cladding, Boise Sandstone on page 24 and more info regarding the facade on page 44.

Looking at the exterior cladding materials on the city pds, it is concrete and sandstone as the link I posted is similar...not the same. I posted it because at a close look you can see the ribbing.
A close look at adamson associates rendering.
Curtain wall with predominate glazing and precast textured and integral color concrete
The ground level of the office building is finished with a Boise Sandstone Veneer Panel. On
the north elevation this treatment extends to the second floor on the middle block of the
façade. On the west elevation the southern section has the second floor finished in the
sandstone veneer and this wraps the building to the interior. The remainder of the ground
level is finished with a glass storefront using Low E Laminated Glazing.
The upper levels are finished in one of two shades of textured precast concrete panel. The
glass on the upper levels is the same Low E Laminated Glazing used on the lower floors.
The changes in color match the changes in wall planes so they are at rational points on the
building façade.
The annex building is finished with the Boise Sandstone Veneer Panels along the Front Street
elevation. This material is for the first two levels of the 82-foot long wall section. Storefront
then angles back from the Front Street property line. The upper levels of the building are
finished with the precast textured concrete panels
