National Archives Building of Canada

Gatineau, Quebec, Canada

Border Glass designed and coordinated all components of over 65,000 square feet of a two-sided silicone glazed curtain wall, which served as the primary envelope around a four-story archival vault building. The curtain wall was unsupported for approximately 70 feet at its highest point and incorporated a 6" square carbon steel vertical truss system. The highly customized nature of the structure required modified hoisting equipment and specialized installation techniques.
