All VS1 Projects
Nippert Stadium at University of Cincinnati
This dynamically shaped new building was constructed to house skyboxes and provide additional spectator seating for this existing stadium. The curved geometry of the building called for a cladding system that responded to the transitional nature of the resulting surface geometry.
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.

Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital
The VS1 system was used as the main facade system for this extension to the existing hospital. The double curved wall clear spans 30ft and follows a serpentine floor plan created by a 60ft radius of curvature; the wall form transitions from a concave to a convex profile seamlessly.
Dolby Theater
VS1 was used for a highly transparent lobby facade at this hub for sound and light innovation. This facade features a standard VS1 detail: an all-glass corner turning the wall into the ceiling.

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.
Central Bank of Ireland
Two atrium VS1 end walls transition into a glass roof to create a transparent spine to this important building in Dublin. A dramatic triangular wall geometry was developed with the architect to create a unique response to the existing building frame with 27-foot mullion spans.

Tenement Museum Renovation
Renovations at 103 Orchard Street provide a new 10,000 sf of storefront Visitors Center on one of the most prominent corners of the Lower East Side. Architectural and structural elements, including cast iron columns and historic signage long hidden by years of renovations, were retained, exposed, and highlighted.
