Our team's meticulous execution is evident in the ultimate thermal curtain wall system, featuring precisely calibrated vertical architectural fins, custom-patterned fritted glass in the signature stair tower, and strategically implemented impact-rated and standard storefront framing throughout the facility.

Blending these architectural features with advanced medical technology creates a space that enhances both patient care and comfort, showcasing the impact of teamwork in healthcare design and construction.

As part of the comprehensive Altru Hospital facility upgrade, we also installed the McKEON motor-operated AC8000 Series Accordion fire door.



This advanced fire door safety system offers top-notch protection with its automatic closing features, full compliance with industry standards, and dependable backups that keep it working even during power outages.
