The LEED Gold Museum of Broadcast Communications in Chicago features a 4,500-square-foot stainless steel wire mesh screen clad exterior from Lancaster, Pa.-based Wire By Design Co. that faces West Kinzie Street and reflects uplighting at night. The museum, expecting more than 250,000 visitors per year, will inform and entertain patrons about the rich history of the television and radio industries through its archives, public programs, screenings, exhibits, publications and online resources. Eckenhoff Saunders Architects, Chicago, designed the stainless steel screen feature.
