Whatever the construction challenge, we have the glass to help meet it.

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.

Description of the project
Siebel Center for Design at the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign is a model for the human centered design students learn and practice here. This accessible structure is a layered glass box that maximizes views to the airy classroom, amphitheater, fabrication and collaboration spaces inside and the prominent campus green where the building is set. It’s all connected to a central walkway that slopes elegantly into a two story skylit gallery at the building’s heart.
SunGuard ® SNX 51/23 and SunGuard ® IS 20 interior surface coatings combine on clear glass to conserve energy while enhancing transparency and light flow.
