Corning Museum of Glass, Contemporary Art + Design Wing

SGH collaborated with the design team to develop and detail building enclosure systems and assemblies. Highlights of our work include the following:

• Collaborated with the architect to develop design concepts for integrating building enclosure systems, including the custom laminated glass rainscreen and skylight (both design-assist project delivery) assemblies, the composite metal panel rainscreen, below-grade waterproofing, and conventional roofing systems
• Assisted with selecting the metal panel rainscreen, roofing, and waterproofing systems
• Collaborated during the design-assist process to evaluate waterproofing, air, vapor, and thermal performance of the proposed systems
• Helped develop details to integrate the custom glass rainscreen and skylight systems with the surrounding enclosure assemblies
• Evaluated thermal modeling results provided by the design-assist contractor to assess the condensation potential and assist with developing remedial options to improve performance
• Reviewed interior partitions that separate humidified gallery spaces from non-humidified areas and assisted with developing air barrier strategies to mitigate air leakage and condensation risk
• Reviewed submittals and shop drawings for the glass rainscreen and skylight assemblies, metal panel rainscreen, and roofing systems
