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.

Operable walls have transformed from functional dividers into aesthetic enhancers of the built environment. On this recent project, we helped the architect balance the need for space flexibility with the desire for the look of a more "permanent" solution. Glass panels with false muntins offer the best of both worlds— the look of a fixed demountable system with the flexibility of operable wall systems.
