29' span with 10° outward slant; "Smart Glass"
Standard VS1 kit of parts with horizontal frame

VS1 was selected for its unique scope at FWA, incorporating a feature wall with a 10-degree outward slant over a 29' span. The flexibility of the VS1 system requires minimal deviation from standard details to accommodate unique aspects such as this.

Similar to the O'Hare Terminal 5 scope, this project also incorporated electrochromic glass panels for sunlight management. To prevent over-deflection, our project manager collaborated with the glass supplier to develop a horizontal VS1 frame for reinforcement. The project is estimated to be completed in 2025.
