University of Arizona Health Sciences Innovation Building

Tuscon, AZ

University of Arizona Health Sciences Innovation Building in Tucson, Arizona, uses 15,000 SF of GreenGirt Max CMH™ over metal studs, behind ACM cladding, with mineral wool insulation. It is a university health sciences building, designed by CO Architects, built by Kitchell Construction, and installed by Kovach Building Enclosures.

A health-sciences research building in Tucson works against intense desert heat, and its interior, full of labs and instruction space, depends on staying cool and stable. The wall meets that with a deep, continuous layer of mineral wool held outside the framing by GreenGirt Max CMH, giving a high effective R that limits the cooling load through long, hot summers, behind an ACM facade set on a thermally broken plane.
