Obama Presidential Center

Chicago, IL
The Obama Presidential Center is a landmark civic campus in Chicago’s Jackson Park that commemorates the legacy of President Barack Obama. The Museum Tower serves as the centerpiece of the campus. Behind the structure’s granite façade, the high-performance wall assembly incorporates 5-inch Thermafiber® RainBarrier® mineral wool, valued for its non-combustible and vapor-permeable properties, along with a fluid-applied, vapor-permeable air and water barrier. Combined with GreenGirt CMH Z-girts, the continuous insulation system enhances energy efficiency, fire safety, and moisture management while supporting the Center’s ambitious goals of achieving LEED v4 Platinum and Net Zero Energy certification.
