This hospital expansion, inserted between two existing hospital buildings, is enclosed by a four-story double-skin glass facade adjacent to a four-story-high atrium with point-supported glass walls and a skylight. Glass floor bridges connect it to the existing buildings on its three upper levels. Each of the addition’s two entries employs its own glazing system: captured insulating glass units and an austere glass canopy mark the 165th Street entrance, while visitors entering from Fort Washington Street pass through an all-glass vestibule backed by a cable truss wall with point-supported glazing.

Heintges provided building envelope and curtain wall consulting services during the construction administration phase, including NYC Special Inspections.
