Need help identifying this spider

This spider spun a web outside one of the windows at my company. My coworker, Justin Yeroshefsky, took the picture and we're trying to figure out what it is. Can anyone help us with that? This picture was taken in Rockville, Maryland and the spider is about 1.5 inches from the tip of its back leg to the tip of its front leg. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
