Jefferson Health Specialty Care Pavilion, 1101 Chestnut Street

SGH consulted on the design for the glass curtain walls, below-grade and plaza waterproofing, expansion joints, protected membrane roofing assemblies, and opaque exterior walls and soffits. Highlights of our work include:

• Peer reviewing the proposed design for the building enclosure
• Participating in the design-assist process for glass curtain wall assemblies, including:
  • The main tower with pleated appearance created by curved insulated glass units set between angled flat glass curtain wall units
  • The west portion of the tower with flat insulating glass units surrounded by metal plate panel cladding at pilasters (fluted plate panel) and spandrels (flat plate panel)
  • Lower levels with architecturally exposed structural steel (AESS) vertical framing members with an aluminum cassette subframe
• Collaborating with the project team to develop details to integrate the curtain wall assemblies with roofing and below-grade waterproofing systems
• Peer reviewing mat slab foundation design related to as-built conditions
