Moon Township, Pa.-based CENTRIA’s Formawall Dimension Series was specified for the Center for Emerging Technologies, Greenville, S.C., on Clemson University International Center for Automotive Research campus for performance, aesthetics and sustainability. The 60,000-square-foot center is one of five technology-focused buildings designed to optimize collaborative research environments. Ecoscreen Perforated Screenwall provides an airy aesthetic to blend the building into its surroundings.
The Center for Emerging Technologies is an automotive and motorsports research facility with offices, administrative space and laboratories for the transportation, technology and energy sectors. The center, completed in July 2011, is LEED Gold certified and allows for 14 percent energy savings compared to less efficient buildings.
