Charles W. Woodward High School in Rockville, Maryland, uses 40,000 square feet of GreenGirt Max CMH™ over metal studs and CMU, behind metal panels and ACM, with mineral wool insulation. It is a public high school. The project was designed by Grimm+Parker Architects, built by HESS Construction, and installed by Cole Roofing.

For a high school, the most economical route to a modern envelope is to add continuous insulation outboard of the existing construction. GreenGirt Max CMH accomplishes precisely this by carrying one unbroken, thermally broken insulation layer across both the retained masonry and the new framing. Behind a renewed metal-and-ACM exterior, that single continuous plane raises the older building’s thermal performance to current standards without dismantling the existing walls.
