JOB SUMMARY
The Vistawall CW-250 curtainwall, HP-175 thermal wall, FG-2000, storefront system and Series 375 medium stile entrance systems were chosen to complete this project.

Curves and ellipses were essential design elements in this project. Dimensional and structural requirements were met with the CW-250 and HP-175 wall systems. Many of the entrances and vertical strip windows included curved heads. This project also used an elliptical window which was fabricated with the CW-250 system. The HP-175 system was used in a series of punched openings to create the visual of one large, curved window, glazed with glass and precast. Vistawall also fabricated 2 1/2-inch matching brake metal strips which are used for the half-round accents to the square windows, using the CW-250 system.

Another outstanding feature of the design were the 13 spires which presented a unique manufacturing challenge for Vistawall. These spires consisted of custom fabricated brake metal bases and 18-inch aluminum spheres mounted to the top of the bases. Additional on-site fabrication was supplied by Haley Greer, Inc., to accommodate various job site conditions.

Twenty-four single and 44 pairs of entrances, utilizing custom hardware, were also part of this project. The finishing used was Kynar® 500 resin-based paint.
