Systems and Products Used: 3” x 15” custom 650 curtain wall system from Texas Wall Systems with Viracon VE 12-2M and VE 9-2M glass; Doralco sidelite rails for ¾” custom sandblasted glass by Skyline Design

Located in the heart of downtown Phoenix, the Convention Center is the premier meeting destination in Arizona. The 52,000 square feet of unitized curtain wall incorporates dark Phoenix blue aluminum with glass composed of green and blue hues. This is striking when combined into the design inspired by the Sonoran Desert environment. Full height curtain walls at the pedestrian bridge provide a commanding view of 3rd Street 60 feet below. Large reverse sloped “jewel boxes” allow natural light to flood the interior, give the building architectural depth and complete the design.
