All-Glass Vestibules

All-glass vestibules are a standard addition to VS1 lobby facades. These vestibules minimize metal and enable the purity of the glass box design by letting the glass side walls act as structural support for the roof glass. Larger vestibules can be implemented by employing VS1 mullions to provide self-supporting framing, as seen in the case of the Irving Center at Dartmouth College, which features a VS1 exoskeleton supporting the glass vestibule.

These vestibules come in all shapes, sizes, and orientations. They can be on the exterior or interior of the façade, partial interior and exterior, or even rotated at an angle.
