The exterior of the new Silver Ramp at MSP is made of thousands of kiln-fired terracotta “baguettes” – each 2-inches square and 6 feet long. The baguettes were chosen, in part, because the 11-story ramp’s design must minimize interference with radar operations on MSP’s airfield. All told, there are 57,758 baguettes, none of them edible.
