Occupant comfort and energy efficiency were top-of-mind when designing Methodist University Hospital’s 450,000-square-foot patient tower. The tower extended above an existing emergency department. The tight timeline and limited construction site space were a few of the major challenges that occurred during the tower’s construction. Kawneer helped embody advanced patient care with varying shades of blue-tinted glass across 40 feet, creating a stylish jigsaw puzzle pattern to optimize comfort, thermal performance and outdoor views.
