Exemplifying monolithic, modern building design, this single-story connecting building and parking garages feature aluminum framing systems by Tubelite and architectural finishes by Linetec.

Designed by Axiom Architecture, the structure's exterior balances glass, metal and masonry in a sleek, modern style defined by transparent columns and horizontal bands created with EFCO fenestration and framing products.

To accomplish the university’s campus-wide, long-term goals, architects at the Design Collaborative first developed a comprehensive plan. 

For a distinctive appearance blending advanced high-tech with approachable, high-touch, EFCO finished the aluminum framing, brake metal and swing entrance doors in a specialty bronze-gold color paint.

Neha Verma recently took the stage at the International Institute of Building Enclosure Consultants (IIBEC) National Conference to present her highly anticipated paper, "Understanding the Complex World of Unitized Curtainwall."

An overview of instances when model building codes require exterior curtain walls to provide a fire rating and how architects and specifiers can use narrow-profile, fire-rated glazing assemblies to meet these requirements without compromising a cohesive design aesthetic.

Providing solar control and lending an attractive blue aesthetic, the decision to prefabricate the glass windows inside the precast concrete panels boosted quality and saved money.

The improved design combines verified hurricane impact-resistance with updated thermally broken design, helping code-compliant, energy-efficient buildings support occupant safety, comfort and wellbeing.

The curtainwall frames the clear panoramic vistas from the 11,000-square-foot glass observation tower and its transparent, cantilevered “cage,” plus views from the expansive surrounding two-level structure.

The newly certified DC-PL-3704 Perform Louver offers protection for buildings located in storm and hurricane-prone regions that require compliance with some of the highest safety standards possible.
