Regions Hospital's Family Birth Center Glass & Glazing Design-Assist Project Spotlight
W. L. Hall Company's $4,000,000 Regions Hospital's Family Birth Center glass and glazing project was a comprehensive design-assist collaboration between W. L. Hall Company, BWBR Architects, Kraus-Anderson Construction & Erie Architectural Products.
Primary project components:
- Custom unitized curtainwall solution: W.L. Hall Company suggested a custom unitized curtainwall that met the building's extreme structural and thermal performance requirements.
- Regular meetings: W.L. Hall Company's drafting and design team brought in engineers from the curtainwall manufacturer. The team scheduled approximately eight weekly meetings at BWBR's office along with Kraus-Anderson Construction & Erie Architectural Products
- Cost-efficient option: The team partnered at every step to provide the most cost-efficient option possible while ensuring that none of the thermal requirements of the project were compromised.
- Cost-saving measures: Throughout the design-assist process, W.L. Hall Company suggested dozens of cost-saving measures that allowed the architectural team to achieve the aesthetic look they desired without adding unnecessary cost to the project.
- Early project completion: The project was turned over months earlier than the original schedule projected due to the successful collaboration between the teams.
- Few punch-list items: The teams completed the installation in record time, and the project received virtually zero punch-list items upon completion.

Crowe Construction (St. Louis Park) contacted us about replacing the skylights at Artistry on 10th, a modern luxury apartment complex. The existing skylights were extremely leaky, aesthetically unappealing, had poor opacity, and failed to meet current-day structural requirements. They allowed minimal natural light to enter the space, provided little comfort or functionality, and were energy inefficient.
Through a strategic collaboration with ESG Architecture (Minneapolis) and Kraus-Anderson Construction (Minneapolis), we provided the exterior glazing on The Larking—a landmark 16-story development redefining urban residential spaces in Minneapolis.
The owner of Vadnais Heights Commons reached out to us to address issues with their existing glass skylights, which were failing structurally, causing excessive heat buildup, and experiencing persistent leaks.
OK, we admit it's not exactly an Oscar. When Accenture needed a smartly designed space that allowed natural light to flow through while ensuring the right level of visual and acoustic privacy they turned to Modernfold.
We're excited to share the results of two, recent commercial skylight projects in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area. Our innovative skylight systems help enhance natural light, boost energy efficiency, and create brighter, more comfortable spaces for occupants.
