Architect: WRNS Studios
Installer: Steel Encounters
Location: Lehi, Utah
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. The project also features the standard 10" mullion mounted on the exterior to provide a flush glazed finish to an interior gymnasium. Another challenge was the Zone 4 seismic design requirement of the building, requiring the VS1 to accommodate 6" of in-plane lateral displacement during a seismic event.
Testimonial from Moses Vaughn, Senior Associate & Director of Architectural Technology at WRNS
“I have worked with Franz and Innovation Glass on several projects over the last 10 years; in every case the collaborative effort has been incredibly successful. From the outset, Franz brought his architectural background to the effort; and was able to anticipate and solve aesthetic challenges as adeptly as technical ones. The inevitable speed bumps along the supply chain were negotiated with full transparency; and the IG team always stepped up to the plate. I can heartily recommend Innovation Glass and the VS-1 system for any project seeking a high value glazing solution.”
