Kimmel Glass

The entrance canopy is composed of glass-only elements. The jumbo glass panels are quadruple laminated and supported by glass fins placed into a moment shoe at the base. All other connections are structurally siliconed to the glass fins and moment shoe to provide ultimate transparency into the lobby. A glass canopy is cantilevered over the entrance, unifying the aesthetic of the lobby entrance.
