The University of Iowa School of Music incorporates multiple Avanti partition systems. The Solare™ Single Glazed Partition System with Timber doors
is used in the Office Suites. Glazing for the offices is 3/8” thick
and is white, frosted, opaque gradually changing to clear. The Reception
Area uses the Solare™ Double Glazed Partition System
(1/2” glazing thickness for at both panes) and a Single Glazed Door
with Ladder Pull Hardware (glazing for doors 1/2″). Due to the height
of the transom above the Reception Area doors, horizontal structural
steel support was included in the design. Horizontal structural steel
support is also installed at the Recital Hall and Sound Lock transoms.
Due to the immense height of the Music Library and Rehearsal Concourse
glazing, the Elevare™ Stacking Double Glazed High Wall System
works perfectly for these situations. The Aluminum Framework was
finished with the RAL 9006 Metallic Silver Powder Coating, while the
Door Fittings and hardware had a brushed stainless steel finish.
