Broadmoor combined two existing buildings to create a new multi-purpose complex, including an expansive atrium space, custom-glazed drum-shaped classrooms, and offices. The atrium space features a complex custom curtainwall with a wave footprint, mimicking the layout of the campus’s beloved mature oaks. A double monorail system placed on the roof was custom designed to install each curtain wall glass pannel instead of a traditional tower crane.
