Kalwall Projects | Are you inspired by the projects we love?


Lakers Legacy Center
The Laker Schools’ need for additional gym space turned into a vision for a multi-purpose center that would benefit both students and the community. Kalwall was proud to provide a daylighting solution for the crown jewel of this project—a turf room spanning half a football field. Check out this video from the client!

NEIEP Training Center
When the National Elevator International Education Program (NEIEP) needed a new training facility in Rhode Island, Kalwall was the perfect solution. According to the project architect of Rowse Architects, “The client is very happy with the type and quality of light they provide into the center of the building."

Gatehall Corporation Center II
This unique daylighting solution in the atrium of a class-A corporate facility showcases the strategic partnership between Kalwall & Structures Unlimited. The single-source aluminum box-beam structure with Kalwall panels & a center of glass is energy efficient while filling the space below with glare-free,  daylight.

The Art Shed
Industrial meets artistic to create the simplistic elegance of this project, which used daylight modeling to ensure the artwork was featured in the best light. S-line skylights face south along the roof of this sales gallery to collect the daylight and deliver the best viewing experience.

Minneapolis VA Medical Center Women's Clinic - Bringing Design Vision to Life—Under the Most Demanding Standards

By Ira Hackner • April 2, 2026
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.

Beyond the Ceiling & Walls: Impactful Color-Changing Barrisol® Environments

By Ira Hackner • February 18, 2026
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.

We are collaborating closely with RSP Architects (Minneapolis) and McGough Construction (St. Paul) to help bring the CentraCare Plaza Expansion design to life.

A Ceiling System that Provides BOTH Light and Sound Attenuation

By Ira Hackner • January 7, 2026
For the executive conference room hallway at Boston Scientific Arden Hills, (Building 5, Floor 3) RSP Architects (Minneapolis) and Cobeck Construction (St. Paul) project teams established clear priorities from the outset: to create a visually striking, polished ceiling experience appropriate for a high-visibility executive corridor, while also providing effective acoustic sound absorption to control noise transfer from the adjacent conference room. We worked closely with the RSP and Cobeck project teams to bring their design goals to life through a refined, high-performing ceiling solution.
