Glass Encircles the University of Texas at Austin Moody Center Arena
To enable Gensler’s sweeping 360-degree curtainwall design for the University of Texas at Austin’s 15,000+ seat Moody Center arena, the architects selected Solarban® 70 clear glass with smaller portions of Solarban®70 Solargray® glass from Vitro Architectural Glass.
Delivering solar control, a color-neutral aesthetic and views into and out of the arena, the glass helped contribute to the Center’s LEED® Gold certification and close to 14% energy savings, as compared to similar buildings.
