All VS1 Projects
Ryan Center at Northwestern University
VS1 was used in a very innovative manner for the Ryan Center for Musical Arts. The main entry wall features a transitional wall geometry which seamlessly turns into an overhead near-flat glass roof which creates a glass spine for the building.

Gordon Parks Art Hall
The VS1 system was used as the exterior glass facade for this extraordinary building. The geometry of the glass surface is one of the most complex in the world but was readily solved by the VS1 system. Multiple fold lines, planar transitions, sloping walls and angular variations that had almost no 90 degree angles all had to be accommodated.
Loyola University Schreiber Center
The VS1 system was customized to create a 10-story dual glass wall envelope with a 10’ mullion spacing on the main facade, transitioning to a lobby wall which wraps around this academic building in Chicago.

Adobe Utah Campus
A unique set of design parameters presented by the architectural design team at WRNS Studios resulted in the new VS1 mullion design. 42' openings required production of an extra deep 12.75” mullion with thicker walls that would resist lateral buckling loads.
Simons Center for Geometry and Physics
This early VS1 project was a true showcase of the system’s flexibility. Exterior louvers shade the southern facade, which transitions to a rooftop balustrade and encloses an indoor bridge.
