from inspiration to installation
Perhaps it’s an ability to be open, yet closed, at once. To reflect light directlyand indirectly, brilliantly and diffusely,together. To be rigid or flexible. Or, tobe geometrically simplistic at a distance, yet vexingly complex up close.

PROJECT<br />
The Awty International School is the<br />
largest international prep school in<br />
the United States, with <strong>to</strong>tal enrollment<br />
of over 1,500 students. Awty’s rapid<br />
growth has spurred the need for facility<br />
expansion, including most recently a<br />
new 5-s<strong>to</strong>ry, 174,000 square foot parking<br />
facility with 440 additional spaces for<br />
faculty, staff, students and visi<strong>to</strong>rs.<br />
APPLICATION & BENEFITS<br />
Cambridge Architectural mesh was<br />
incorporated in<strong>to</strong> the exterior façade<br />
design of the parking facility by the<br />
architect not only for functionality<br />
(solar shading, headlight attenuation,<br />
fall protection, ventilation) but for the<br />
way it visually enhances the appearance<br />
of this large structure both by day and<br />
by night.<br />
Cambridge provided a turn-key<br />
solution by supplying the mesh and<br />
attachment components which offer<br />
a consistent, elegant look without<br />
having <strong>to</strong> bring multiple trades in<strong>to</strong><br />
the <strong>installation</strong>.<br />
Cambridge’s Mid-Balance mesh pattern<br />
and Eclipse attachment system was<br />
specified by the architect <strong>to</strong> create<br />
multiple vertical panels <strong>to</strong> cover the<br />
open areas of the garage. LED lighting<br />
was added <strong>to</strong> illuminate the mesh panels<br />
in Awty’s school color – green.<br />
