Completion of Boston’s newest eye-catching facility, including the installation of aluminum composite material took more than four years. Modernizing the facilities included the addition of four new gates, including three approved in 1995 but never built.

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.

Cities are building up instead of out, presenting new challenges for today’s construction.

Through the ingenious design and skilled fabrication and installation of a vertical sun shade occupants now enjoy their collaboration space through filtered daylight while Alexandria GradLabs’ commitment to innovation is proudly on display.

Located at Huntsman’s world scale polyurethane production site in Geismar, Louisiana, the Reliability Excellence Center is a 22,000-square-foot structural steel building which is home to the company’s maintenance, reliability and operational excellence teams.

When it came time to select materials for the building envelope of the expansive facility, insulated metal panels quickly became the preferred solution based on their versatility and performance characteristics.  

How to mitigate the risk with proven below-grade waterproofing solutions. In some cases, a deep foundation may be needed due to large design loads or poor soil at shallow depths.

The exterior of the building is exposed daily to punishing environmental conditions including high UV rays, high humidity, salt spray, and windborne sand. Over the years, these environmental assaults served to break down the builder-applied acrylic coating on the building’s stucco surface, leaving it chalky and dull.

With its distinct strips of terracotta panels and expansive glazed curtainwall, the new 230,000-square-foot Health Sciences Innovation Building at the University of Arizona features an expansive ground floor forum, daylit student lounges and study spaces, state-of-the art simulation laboratories and more.

The project, which is expected to continue through 2025, includes the removal and replacement of the original 35-year-old sealants on the entire 588-foot-tall building’s curtain wall and bridge.
