Stick system curtain wall CAMBRIDGE PUBLIC LIBRARY

aluminum and glass

Built in 1889 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Cambridge Public Library was given an elegant new extension with a double skin façade. The buildings - new and old - are connected by a transparent glass corridor implemented as an aluminum stick system. The new building's main design is the 4-story, climate-active, rear-ventilated, double skin façade, with its high level of transparency opening the building up to the park outside. Scope of Work 680 sqm (7,300 sq ft) of double-skin façade, 600 sqm (6,500 sq ft) of standardized aluminum façade system with double glazing.
