Sherlock Elementary
From anti-reflection to color tints, modern glass enhances design in many ways.
Whatever the construction challenge, we have the glass to help meet it.
See how the correct choice of glass can help transform a home – and even our wellbeing.
What modern glass can do
How and where glass is used
How glass is made and what it offers
The 75,000 square metres façade features a curtain wall that is double glazed to allow for a high solar protection on neutral-looking glass.
The new-build façades are predominately brick-faced, with punched windows to reflect the surrounding context.
Curved glass, punch windows and precast stone panels make up the envelope on a figure-of-eight footprint.
From landmark construction projects to innovative residential builds, this is how our glass can make the difference.

Natural light is the next “wave” of architecture in schools. FGM Architects knew this when they designed the Sherlock Elementary School in Cicero, IL. The large wave of glass is none other than SunGuard® SNX 62/27 on CrystalGray®. It allows for maximum natural light to help stimulate young minds while they learn. It also protects students from the sun’s harmful rays while it opens up the learning spaces.
