We will supply Black opaque amorphous Silicon double pane glass for the curtain wall, which can turn the building into a Positive Energy Building.
With this project, the University of Millersville is entering a more sustainable future.
The building generates its renewable energy to run its systems and devices. Most buildings draw electricity from the power grid to turn on lights, devices and provide heating and air conditioning, however, the goal of the Lombardo Welcome Center is to achieve this by using renewable solar energy.
Beyond its sustainable design, the Lombardo Welcome Center is also visually striking, with large glass windows that let in plenty of sunlight, an open and spacious architecture that invites visitors to the interior.
