The project team at Stantec Architecture replaced an 84-foot (25.6 m) long drywall partition in Chicago's Grant Thornton Tower with approximately 821 square feet (76.3 m2) of two-hour fire resistive curtain wall frames and glass. By changing an opaque wall into a clear one, the result is a welcoming, light-filled space that is “very popular and one of the showstoppers in the building,” notes Ken Novak of Stantec Architecture. “The TGP system allows design ideas such as ours to become reality.”
