Penn State University – College of Engineering Research & Teaching Space 1 Building

University Park, PA

Penn State University Engineering Research & Teaching Space 1 in University Park, Pennsylvania, uses 19,000 SF of GreenGirt Max CMH™ over metal studs, behind metal panel cladding, with mineral wool insulation. It is a university engineering research and teaching building, designed by Payette Associates, built by Whiting-Turner, and installed by Mohawk Construction & Supply, Inc.

An engineering research and teaching building in University Park sits in a cold central Pennsylvania climate, where the envelope works through a long heating season. The wall meets that with a deep, continuous layer of mineral wool held outside the framing by GreenGirt Max CMH, which keeps the insulation unbroken across the studs and holds a high effective R-value behind a durable metal panel facade.
