Award-Winning School Achieves Daylight and Occupant Comfort Goals with Glass
Seeking to introduce more transparency and daylight into San Francisco’s industrial arts-focused Lick-Wilmerding High School, architect EHDD chose Solarban® 70glass from Vitro Architectural Glass (formerly PPG Glass) for new skylights and a curtainwall addition to the existing building.
The new third-story curtainwall, with its mullion-less silicone joints, rests lightly on top of the historic building below and thoughtfully integrates with the existing mid-century curtainwall. To boost thermal performance, the architect added interior acrylic glazing to the older system.
