Lobby and courtyard walls
24' & 11' VS1 facades
A valued referral from a long term client led to a first time collaboration with the Rowland Design team on this intricate project. VS1 was used to solve two facade conditions: the main 24’ clear span walls at the library space and the 11’-high courtyard walls with entrances. The large span condition required the 10" deep mullion while the smaller span allowed the 5" section to be used. An exterior wire mesh screen at the large span wall created an intriguing layering to the enclosure solution. This project has already received accolades from the architectural community with a 2017 AIA Indiana Merit award for new construction.

❝ The glass clad research library facing west is the anchoring element of the new building. Thirty stainless steel sunscreens protect the library’s collection while providing a physical expression of the Liberty Fund mission. Individual screens represent a century of human history and is etched with names and events influential to liberty. The vast collection becomes evident as the library lighting lends a glow to the space as evening begins. ❞
