Whatever the construction challenge, we have the glass to help meet it.

How glass is made and what it offers
The 75,000 square metres façade features a curtain wall that is double glazed to allow for a high solar protection on neutral-looking glass.
The new-build façades are predominately brick-faced, with punched windows to reflect the surrounding context.
Curved glass, punch windows and precast stone panels make up the envelope on a figure-of-eight footprint.

Imagination meets innovation
The Wilson School of Design at Kwantlen Polytechnic University aims to be the preferred school for technical apparel design – a thriving industry in this region of British Columbia, Canada. University students here are also developing talent and credentials in interiors, fashion, product design and more.
For an institution that thinks deeply about apparel, the way the building is clad carries special importance. A timber structure inspired by 19th century warehouses in the area is artfully wrapped in glass curtain wall that serves up a sophisticated look and performance. Complete with operable windows and great spans of glass, this building blends SunGuard® SN 54 and SunGuard® SN 68 that provide a neutral look and abundant natural light, as well as SunGuard® SNR 43 and SunGuard® Silver 20, which reduce unwanted solar heat gain while also providing an attractive reflectivity. The result is an open, airy space that encourages students to imagine and innovate – and a building on track to achieve LEED certification.
