Six Considerations When Specifying a Ventilation System
The Human Impact of Good Daylighting
Bring Light + Structure with Glass Partitions
Glass partitions are redefining interior space planning with clean lines, transparency and refined architectural impact. Ideal for offices, schools and modern interiors, they create division without visual clutter—delivering function without sacrificing aesthetics. Their sleek, minimalist style complements a range of design palettes from contemporary to industrial. Whether you’re designing collaborative workspaces or residential zones with intentional flow, glass partitions offer a flexible, elegant solution that elevates the environment.
Sasaki collaborated closely with Kingspan, Hopkins, Arup, Consigli, and Total Wall to design, prototype, test and successfully install a custom QuadCore insulated panel connection system for the building envelope at Colby College’s Harold Alfond Recreation and Athletics Centre.
QuadCore is thin, lightweight and thermally efficient, which can lead to carbon savings in transport and building structures in certain applications.
The high-performance connection system captures the top and bottom of each insulated panel along the facade, which greatly reduced the number of envelope penetrations as well as the amount of secondary steel required for lateral support.
In fact, the use of QuadCore insulated panels at Colby College enabled the elimination of 22.7 tonnes of steel support girts. Utilisation of insulated panel’s inherent structural capacity coupled with the reduction in steel structure, significantly lowered the associated embodied carbon.

On February 2, 2004, the University of Colorado Hospital opened the beautiful new Anschutz Cancer Pavilion on the new Fitzsimons Campus located in Aurora, Colorado. Physicians, employees and patients participated in the design of the state-of- the-art $148.8 million hospital, helping the architects achieve a functional, efficient building with spectacular views of the nearby Rocky Mountains. An important sustainability goal was to maximize the use of natural daylight, while using energy efficient controls to turn-off light fixtures in corridors and exterior areas during bright daylight hours. The reliance on natural daylight resulted in the design team’s need to control glare and heat transmitted through glazing and window systems.
The design choices that allowed Lumen Detroit to thrive and revitalize a faded downtown neighborhood, allowed the restaurant to stay open during much of the COVID-19 crisis. From its conception, the mission of the building was to be a part of a great public space, to be an architectural icon in the City and to encourage patrons to engage the surrounding area. Instrumental to achieving that goal was the ability to connect the building seamlessly to the park, and neighborhood that encompasses it, by opening the walls, a dramatic effect accomplished by two extensive NanaWall sliding glass wall systems. This choice has since proved to be prescient during the Covid-19 crisis.

The 30-year-old, original fiberglass skylight at the Beverly Center fashion mall was in need of renovation, and our Quadwall system was the perfect solution the mall was looking for. Specified in ice white and white matte glazing, the new skylight was installed above the 41,000 sq. ft. main floor in just seven days to meet the store’s unveiling deadline – all while the store was fully occupied, thanks to the system’s removable skin technology.
