Energy efficiency considerations in window replacement projects

The Winter Visual Arts Building, embodying SHA’s design philosophy, naturally adapts to COVID-19 necessities such as social distancing and fresh air. It offers generous social/circulation space, with two main entries on different levels that enable one-way flow when needed, abundant daylight to all rooms, natural ventilation, and outdoor terraces. The architecture is deeply connected to its verdant, park-like campus setting, a restorative place within nature. The reflections of the hovering building at night glowing in the water of a large reflecting pool add to the special articulation of this place.
