Why the AC8800CP is a Game-Changer:

๏ปฟ

  • The AC8800CP has up to a 3-hour fire rating (UL 10B) with "S" label.
  • Accordion Magic: Thanks to its folding design, this system retracts neatly out of sight when not needed, keeping the bright, open layout you love. This almost 28' door stacks into a pocket under 4' deep!
  • Big and Bold: Got a wide space? No problem! It covers large openings (80 foot plus!) without pesky vertical posts.
  • Hands-Free Deployment: Hook it up to your building’s fire alarm system and watch it spring into action automatically during an emergency.
  • Style Points: Some doors are used only during alarm situations. Some doors are seen and used everyday for traffic control or security applications. For doors used everyday, a wide variety of powder coat color options are available.
  • ADA Compliant: It’s designed to be accessible so everyone can move smoothly and safely through the opening when needed.

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.

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.
