English term or phrase: The mixed material building project
The 35,000-square-foot LEED-certified building features a central hub of action and transformation cradled between two formidable structural walls representing hands. ***The mixed material building project*** is designed to be environmentally sustainable and visually appealing...

Does it mean that the building is made of several materials? Or does it mean that the materials are mixed (combined materials)?
