Innovation + Connection

The University of Connecticut wanted to make a statement that they’re on the cutting edge of research with their UConn Innovation Partnership Building.


The structure represents connection between research teams and business leaders, to give them the opportunity to develop new approaches to real world challenges.


The building’s design needed to reflect this intention. To achieve this vision, TWS was chosen out of a publicly bid system to put forth a solution that had never been designed and never been tested.


The result is a beautiful campus touchtone that symbolizes both TWS’s and UConn’s continued commitment to innovation and excellence.

 
 
 
 
 
TWS provided a custom building envelope with a double wall assembly.
 
 
 
TWS prototyped, tested, manufactured and installed the innovative, textured cladding solution that’s unique to UConn IPB.
 
 
The design represents harmony and balance, while the building performance is tested to very high tolerances harsh conditions.
 
 
UConn IBP’s envelope is a thermally broken sub-framing system with aluminum extruded ringed aluminum cladding.
Panel Materials: Aluminum, Glass
Installation Method: Panelization
