When the Pennsylvania Army National Guard decided to remodel their Unit Training Equipment Site facility in Fort Indiantown Gap, Pa., they were looking for functionality. The trainers desired a facility that would offer quality daylighting, both from overhead and from the sides of the building, to provide a well-lit work environment without glares or hot spots. CPI Daylighting Inc., Lake Forest, Ill., installed more than 27,000 square feet (2,508 m2) of translucent daylighting panels throughout the facility.
CPI provided its Quadwall translucent insulated standing-seam daylighting system with clear Pentaglas glazing for the training facility’s walls and skylights, in addition to translucent clear Pentaglas 16 panel insertions that were used for the high-speed operable doors.
“The Quadwall systems and the Pentaglas 16 garage door panel insertions allowed the workers to take full advantage of the tremendous quality of light provided by CPI Daylighting systems in the immediate interior vicinity,” said Dan Cherney, East Coast regional manager for CPI.
The Quadwall and Pentaglas daylighting systems provided were uniquely suited to meet the requirements of the challenging custom project. “With the skylight above, large wall light down below and the overhead door with the glazing incorporated really lit the bays well to enable personnel to work on the tanks,” said CPI Project Manager Craig Shapiro.
Jacobs Facilities Architects, Arlington, Va., was the architect, and Lobar Inc., Dillsburg, Pa., was the general contractor.
