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.

What Sets Us Apart Deep Expertise in Life Safety Systems Our team understands the complexity behind fire and smoke containment. From early design through final installation, we help ensure every system meets stringent code requirements—including NFPA, IBC, and local jurisdiction standards—while maintaining functionality and aesthetics. Design-Assist Collaboration from Day One We engage early to help evaluate system selection, integration, and constructability: Aligning fire and smoke protection strategies with architectural layouts Coordinating with egress pathways and building systems Identifying potential conflicts before they impact the schedule or cost Proven Experience Across Complex Projects From healthcare facilities and high-rises to airports and large public venues, we’ve successfully delivered systems in environments where safety, reliability, and coordination are paramount. Advanced Specialty Security, Fire & Smoke Doors Systems We Deliver McKEON — Fire-Rated Door Systems Built for Performance
In close collaboration with Anderson Engineering of Minnesota (Plymouth) and Greenstone Construction (Fargo), our team is helping bring their project design vision to life at the new Women’s Clinic at the Minneapolis VA Medical Center. As we near completion of this project, we are delivering a highly specialized glazing package engineered to meet the rigorous performance and security requirements of Department of Defense (DoD) design standards. This project required far more than a conventional façade solution—it demanded a carefully engineered system capable of balancing security, performance, and architectural intent within a blast-mitigated environment. The completed VA Women’s Clinic will provide a wide range of healthcare services specifically for women Veterans, including primary care, whole health, mental health, reproductive health, and specialized care for conditions related to military service. The new facility is thoughtfully designed to centralize all women’s healthcare services in a dedicated location, with its own exterior entrance to enhance accessibility, privacy, and the patient experience.
MSP Airport Terminal 2 Expansion in Progress — See How We’re Delivering We are proud to be working on the Terminal 2 North Gate Expansion at Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport—in close collaboration with Miller Dunwiddie Architects and Morcon Construction (Fridley) — to help bring their complex, high-visibility design to life.
Collaboration in Action: Bringing the HCMC Green Building Vision to Life
In collaboration with Studio BV Architects (Minneapolis) and Mission Construction (Minneapolis), we helped bring their design goals to life for Livefront’s Hospitality Lounge — realizing a vision centered on innovation, flexibility, and modern collaboration.
Luminous Barrisol® ceilings and walls use color-changing LED technology to shape atmosphere and support how a space is used throughout the day. Neutral tones suit everyday operations, while richer brand colors can highlight events, milestones, or special moments. Warmer hues create a welcoming feel for evening use or guest receptions, with digital controls allowing lighting to evolve as branding or needs change—without physical alterations. Extending the same approach into the vertical plane, Barrisol® luminous walls are built on a lightweight aluminum framework, with integrated lighting and translucent membranes. The result is a clean, softly glowing architectural surface that delivers uniform, glare-free illumination and visual calm. When ceilings and walls shift color in sync, the space gains depth and rhythm, subtly reinforcing brand presence and guiding movement through key areas without relying on signage.

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.
