Making a Case for TGP

Featured Project

Alan Magee Scaife Hall at University of Pittsburgh

Intended as both an academic building and social hub, University of Pittsburgh’s Allen Magee Scaife Hall combines several design features that create a sense of openness, including the fire-rated glazing systems along the building’s monumental stairwell. Used in tandem, TGP’s Fireframes ClearView® System and Fireframes® Heat Barrier Series Doors defend against fire, smoke and heat transfer. The Fireframes ClearView System joins pieces of Pilkington Pyrostop®, low-iron, fire-rated and impact safety-rated glass with nearly colorless butt-glazed joints, eliminating the need for vertical mullions within TGP’s Fireframes Heat Barrier perimeter frames, maximizing the amount of glazing possible.
