FROM ARCHITECT POPULOUS

❝ Populous’ design seamlessly integrates the building into the flagship campus, providing Nebraska’s football program with everything needed for efficient daily operations. With its impressive offerings, the complex instantly became a key asset in attracting recruits nationwide. ❞

A stunning three-sided VS1 glass curtain wall greets student-athletes and visitors to this brand new sports complex at University of Nebraska-Lincoln. 12.75” VS1 mullions with lateral bracing rods were used to achieve this incredibly transparent 40-foot façade, and two all-glass frameless entry vestibules welcome you into the building. The mullions are customized with a recess at the back, and Innovation Glass supplied lighting brackets for LED strips that illuminate the façade’s VS1 framing. The façade utilizes the VS1 toggle fitting, creating a flush exterior and achieving a true glass box aesthetic.

VS1 was selected for a second scope, a 24-foot spanning glass wall on the practice facility. This installation was achieved with a 10” deep rectangular mullion and the standard VS1 patch fittings.
