I've already seen comments online about how over time the white marble tiling is starting to become dull. The rainy weather New York often experiences clearly isn't good for the long term maintenance of the marble, even with regular exterior cleaning.

How do they plan to address the weathering of the marble structure of the Oculus over time? The same weathering of the marble plaza on the original world trade center superblock occurred and significantly marred the appearance of the plaza over time until the plaza was finally renovated with granite stone pavers. I imagine that with climate change, the weather being more extreme than in the past (more temperature extremes and more heavy precipitation) isn't going to help issues and will probably degrade the marble even quicker.
