Piedmont Athens Regional Hospital

Athens, GA

Piedmont Athens Regional Hospital in Athens, Georgia, uses 12,400 SF of GreenGirt Max CMH™ over metal studs, behind ACM and metal panel cladding, with mineral wool insulation. It is a hospital, designed by SmithGroup, built by DPR Construction, and installed by Clad Axis.

A hospital houses patients who cannot quickly evacuate, so a non-combustible insulation is a meaningful safety choice, and the mineral wool here provides exactly that, an unbroken insulating layer that will not feed a fire. GreenGirt Max CMH holds it continuous outside the metal studs while carrying the ACM and metal panels on a thermally broken support, keeping the wall both fire-conscious and efficient in the Georgia climate.
