Hopkins High School required a minimalist glazing system that would bring natural light through the room and into an interior hallway. They also wanted maximum visual access to maximize occupant safety.

The ZONA glass wall seamlessly integrated with the surrounding construction to create a sunlight conference room out of what had previously been underutilized space.

We recommended the Modernfold Acousti-Clear® Paired Panel 45 STC system for the West Jr. High classroom and library because it is easy to operate and allows the school to set the room up in multiple configurations easily.

The system provides flexibility by allowing one space to instantly become two. This allows teachers to rapidly switch from two spaces better suited for personalized learning to one large space ideal for collaborative activities.
