From Continuity to Contrast: Diverse<br />

Approaches to Design in Historic Contexts<br />

connecting Towne and GRW run along the eastern<br />

facade of the building, allowing views from the interior<br />

out to Chancellor Walk while activating the facade<br />

with views of people within. This arrangement<br />

maximizes the open area on each floor and separates<br />

“through circulation” from private spaces. Faculty<br />

offices are located at the perimeter of the building to<br />

the east, west and south with abundant natural light<br />

and views. Floor lounges with views of the courtyard<br />

are provided throughout the building, allowing places<br />

of meeting and orientation at each floor level.<br />

The principal facades are highly energy-efficient<br />

curtain walls; the first active wall of its type in North<br />

America. This innovative, triple-glazed wall features<br />

a return-air system which ventilates an inner cavity,<br />

extracting solar heat gain for use in various forms of<br />

heat exchange systems to offset heating and cooling<br />

loads. The inner glass unit is a heat barrier featuring<br />

fully adjustable blinds, allowing for full shading or<br />

visibility. Since return air is at room temperature, the<br />

internal glass unit surface temperature is within 1-2<br />

degrees of room temperature. This eliminates surface<br />

radiation effects and improves occupant comfort.<br />

The use of ventilated curtain wall technology allows<br />

the use of large expanses of glazed exterior wall<br />

surfaces providing abundant natural light and views,<br />

while providing interior comfort, minimizing energy<br />

consumption and meeting stringent new energy<br />

codes.<br />
