Nolte Hall / University of Minnesota, Minneapolis
Nolte Hall offers some of the most fascinating architectural nuances to be found
on the University of Minnesota campus. As with many historic restorations, the
challenge with Nolte Hall was to provide new window designs that precisely
reproduced the aesthetic intricacies of the original windows, but with
contemporary materials and features that provided a durable, energy-efficient
and low-maintenance solution.
Project Highlights
- The windows built for this project incorporated custom extruded aluminum
clad casing and sill profiles, simulated divided lites and a recessed
transom on a number of large roundtop windows.
- The aluminum screens even matched the originals – right down to the
bronze screen mesh.
- One of the design details our windows replicated was the ogee lug. This
historic feature was recreated in low-maintenance clad with a durable Kynar®
finish.
- A new insulating glass sash was designed to save energy while preserving
the original art glass and wood millwork.
