Iowa State University's Student Innovation Center, located in Ames, Iowa, aims to inspire students to innovate through experimentation and collaboration. The project features a unique, custom-pleated curtain wall system. Each unit incorporates two clear vision lites with a full-height shadow box on one side, allowing natural light into the building while reducing energy transfer. Across elevations, the pleats accordion from flat to angled, utilizing 17 different angles throughout the design.
Architectural Wall Systems provided glazing services. Saint-Gobain supplied the glass.
