Knoch High School

Knoch High School in Saxonburg, PA, uses 13,000 SF of GreenGirt Max CMH™ over cold-formed metal framing, behind high-pressure laminate and phenolic panel cladding, with mineral wool insulation. It is a public high school renovation, adding an administration suite, a multipurpose space, a cafeteria, and learning stairs. The project was designed by Draw Collective and built and installed by Hudson Construction. High-pressure laminate and phenolic panels are lightweight rainscreen claddings, hung with open joints over a drained cavity rather than sealed seams. GreenGirt Max CMH carries them on a thermally broken support that establishes that cavity while holding mineral wool continuous over the framing.
