Architect: Elevatus Architecture
Glazier: Forman Glass
Glazier: O’Neil’s Glass
The vision of Elevatus Architecture for Indiana Tech’s $21.5 million expansion and renovation of its Zollner Engineering Building was to connect new gathering spaces, collaboration areas, and classroom and lab spaces with the outside environment, maximizing interior light and creating a feeling of “room for thought.”
In response, G+MC teamed with glaziers Forman Glass, from Galesburg, Michigan, and O’Neil’s Glass, headquartered in Fort Wayne to choose Guardian Glass’ Super Neutral Reflective (SNR) 43 for the East and West facades of the venue – a product with a light silver blue tint; and their Super Neutral (SN) 68 on the North and South facades – featuring a light green tint. The marriage of the two colors, and the super-flat surfaces we were able to fabricate using our state-of-the-art equipment and quality processes, present a bold exclamation point to the handsome expansion.
Beyond the beauty of the facades, both glass products ensure a comfortable interior environment, offer thousands of dollars in potential energy savings, as well as LEED credits.
