The W. L. Hall Company Mother and Baby Center Regions Hospital $4,000,000 glazing project was a true design-assist award. W. L. Hall suggested a custom unitized curtainwall that was able to meet the extreme structural and thermal performance requirements of the building.


W. L. Hall's drafting and design team brought in engineers from the curtainwall manufacturer, and we scheduled approximately eight weekly meetings at the architect's office (BWBR) along with the Contractor (Kraus Anderson).

Once the project's overall scope was fully determined, we partnered at every step to ensure that we were providing the most cost-efficient option possible while ensuring that none of the thermal requirements of the project were compromised.

Throughout the design-assist process, we suggested dozens of cost-saving measures that allowed the architectural team to gather the aesthetic look they were after without adding unnecessary cost to the project.

This project was ultimately a huge success for everyone involved; it was turned over months earlier than the original schedule. Since we were able to walk through and discuss virtually all of the significant details on the project, we completed the installation in record time. We received virtually zero punch-list items upon completion.

Skyfold Performance & Flexibility Without the “Can Everyone Help Move This?”
By Ira Hackner April 23, 2026
In collaboration with Alliiance Architects (Minneapolis) and Sheehy Construction (St. Paul), our team helped bring their meeting room renovation design at the Minneapolis Convention Center to life—delivering Modernfold Acousti-Seal Encore® operable wall systems (STC 54) designed for flexibility, performance, and long-term durability. When most design professionals start thinking about using an operable wall system, they usually focus on the panel. That makes sense as panel type, STC levels, and finishes are important. What about the track? After all, unless the system is motorized, those panels aren't going to move themselves! Some of the panels on this project weigh almost 800 lbs.! By using radius curved track, Modernfold was able to design a wall and track system that will provide easy operation for years to come.
