On the second anniversary of its grand opening to the public, Vitro Architectural 电车无码 announced that the UPMC Cooper Fieldhouse in Pittsburgh, Pa., which features Solarban庐 R67 (formerly Solarban庐&苍产蝉辫;67) Starphire庐 glass from Vitro, was given a 2022 Design Award from US电车无码 Magazine.
Formerly known as the A.J. Palumbo Center, the UPMC Cooper Fieldhouse is the home of the men鈥檚 and women鈥檚 basketball and volleyball teams at Duquesne University. In addition to the primary arena, the building also houses the Folino Sports Performance Center, which features nearly 10,000 sq. ft. of athletic training equipment, performance labs and a nutritional center for the university鈥檚 student-athletes. As part of a dynamic renovation, developers selected Solarban庐鈥疪67&苍产蝉辫;Starphire庐 glass to create a stunning curved fa莽ade that brings new life 鈥 and more light 鈥 to the facility.
鈥淔rom large-scale installations to unique and artistic uses of glass, the winners of the fourth annual US电车无码 Magazine Design Awards capture many of today鈥檚 architectural trends and developments,鈥 said the magazine in its coverage of 2022鈥檚 winners.
The UMPC Cooper Fieldhouse at Duquesne University won the Fa莽ade Renovation/Retrofit category in the 2022 Design Awards.
DRS Architects Inc. designed a bright, inviting street-facing fa莽ade that provides optimal daylighting for the inside of the facility and also aligns aesthetically with Duquesne University鈥檚 recent campus upgrades along Pittsburgh鈥檚 Forbes Avenue. Fabricator Trulite 电车无码 & Aluminum Solutions and glazing contractor Gurtner & Sons Glazing produced the鈥Solarban庐鈥疪67鈥Starphire庐鈥痝lass that makes up the building鈥檚 fa莽ade and the Gilliand Pavilion, which offers impressive views of downtown Pittsburgh.
With a solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) of 0.30 in a standard one-inch insulating glass unit (IGU),鈥Solarban庐鈥疪67 Starphire庐 glass offers exceptional solar control performance that improves the overall energy efficiency of the building. Its visible light transmittance of 57% indicates that Solarban庐鈥疪67 Starphire庐 glass delivers abundant daylight to the building鈥檚 interior, especially along the northern fa莽ade leading to the Clearway Community Energy Gate.
