Does Anyone Remember This Project?

Does anyone remember the designing and fabricating large stainless steel panels (4' x 8':
Allegheny Ludlum, in partnership with Trio Industries) that comprise the exterior and interior
facades of the Center for British Art at Yale University, designed by Louis Kahn?  The project
took place in 1973 and 1974, approximately.  Any information into how these panels were
made (especially the surface finish) would be very helpful for a current restoration project.
