Minnesota State University Moorhead required thorough third-party field testing for the curtainwall installation.
Third-party testing can lead to improved outcomes for several reasons:
- Objectivity: Provides an unbiased assessment of materials and systems
- Expertise: Offers specialized knowledge and experience in testing processes
- Quality Assurance: Ensures that installations meet safety and quality standards
- Credibility: Enhances the reliability of results for stakeholders
- Compliance: Helps adhere to industry regulations and building codes
- Risk Mitigation: Identifies potential issues early to reduce risks
We incorporated a variety of advanced building systems:
- Wausau 6250 and 10250 Superwall: Installed according to Minnesota State specifications, these high-performance curtainwall systems deliver superior energy efficiency.
- Tubecraft Monumental Doors: Robust and aesthetically designed doors for large-scale entrances, enhancing the building's architectural character.
- Interior Glass Handrail by CRL: A sleek, contemporary handrail system that combines safety with modern design.
- Interior Storefronts in the Lobby: Custom glass storefronts that create a bright, open space within the lobby.
- Interior Wilson Partition Office Framing with Glass and Wood Doors by GC: A sophisticated office partition system integrating glass and wood doors for a functional and elegant layout.
- Auto Operators and Bollards by Fargo Glass: Automatic door operators and bollards installed for increased accessibility and safety.
- Door Hardware by Twin Cities Hardware (TCH): High-quality door hardware is provided to ensure durability and reliability throughout the building.
- Interior Storefronts in the Lobby: Custom glass storefronts that create a bright, open space within the lobby.
- Interior Wilson Partition Office Framing with Glass and Wood Doors by GC: A sophisticated office partition system integrating glass and wood doors for a functional and elegant layout.
- Auto Operators and Bollards by Fargo Glass: Automatic door operators and bollards installed for increased accessibility and safety.
- Door Hardware by Twin Cities Hardware (TCH): High-quality door hardware is provided to ensure durability and reliability throughout the building.
This installation showcases our expertise in Minnesota State projects, highlighting our capability to consistently deliver high-quality installations across institutional quality buildings throughout the state.

Here is a look at a current healthcare project we are actively working on, showcasing our expertise in complex glazing, interior systems, and construction coordination—the CentraCare Plaza Expansion in St. Cloud, Minnesota. We are collaborating closely with RSP Architects (Minneapolis) and McGough Construction (St. Paul) to help bring the CentraCare Plaza Expansion design to life. From the outset, their project teams carefully factored the complex functional and operational requirements of expanded outpatient and specialty care into the overall design, ensuring each building system supports both architectural intent and long-term performance.
For the executive conference room hallway at Boston Scientific Arden Hills, (Building 5, Floor 3) RSP Architects (Minneapolis) and Cobeck Construction (St. Paul) project teams established clear priorities from the outset: to create a visually striking, polished ceiling experience appropriate for a high-visibility executive corridor, while also providing effective acoustic sound absorption to control noise transfer from the adjacent conference room. We worked closely with the RSP and Cobeck project teams to bring their design goals to life through a refined, high-performing ceiling solution.
We are pleased to highlight two recently completed ZONA® LYNX telescoping glass wall projects, each tailored to the specific functional demands of its space. Working closely with the architects involved, we helped bring each project's design vision to reality, delivering precision ZONA installations that support flexibility, transparency, and long-term performance across both professional office and high-traffic environments. Both projects feature 3/8" clear laminated glass with a clear anodized finish, providing a consistent balance of durability, safety, and refined aesthetics. Below is a brief overview of each project and the unique advantages the ZONA LYNX system brings to each application.
We are fortunate to be engaged in a wide range of projects across the Upper Midwest at any given time—each one highlighting the diversity of systems and solutions we provide. Today, we’re pleased to spotlight one of the major glazing projects we are currently involved in: the Boston Scientific – Weaver Lake 4 Expansion. We are proud to be actively progressing on this expansion, delivering advanced glass and glazing solutions for a project that continues to elevate one of Minnesota's most impactful medical device campuses. Collaborating with HGA Architects (Minneapolis) and Ryan Companies Construction (Minneapolis), our team is helping turn their design intent into a fully engineered, constructable glazing system—one that delivers long-term performance, clean aesthetics, and exceptional durability for Boston Scientific.
Most building professionals know that air leakage is one of the biggest performance failures in commercial buildings. What is less understood is this: Air leakage doesn't move in only one direction. It can move inward (infiltration) or outward (exfiltration) — and each direction carries its own set of energy, comfort, and moisture-control consequences. Even worse, rolling doors have historically been among the weakest points of the building envelope.
Daylighting, Durability & Performance: Why the Thief River Falls Regional Airport Chose Kalwall
We truly enjoyed working with HCM Architects (Minneapolis), TKDA Architects (Bloomington), Knutson Construction (Minneapolis), and McGough (St. Paul), who brought four new Xcel Energy service facilities — in Chanhassen, Onalaska (WI), St. Cloud, and St. Paul–Maplewood. We helped bring their design visions to life with Kalwall’s advanced translucent daylighting systems, which elevate energy efficiency, occupant comfort, and thermal performance.

We were pleased to collaborate with Mohagen Hansen Architecture (Wayzata, MN) and Gardner Builders (Minneapolis) to bring their design vision for Agralite Electric Cooperative’s new 63,000-square-foot headquarters in Benson, MN, to life—featuring the innovative use of Kalwall® daylighting systems in both the office space and the warehouse.
