Okalux facade enhances neuroscience research building at California Institute of Technology

For the new neuroscience research building of the California Institute of Technology, the architects at SmithGroup developed an integrative design that explicitly promotes learning and interaction.

It includes generous windows that direct light from one side of the building to the other.

When selecting building materials, the architects opted for classic Southern Californian elements such as travertine and copper. This made our OKATECH insulating glass with copper inlay the perfect choice. It also meets high solar and glare protection requirements, contributing to the building's LEED Gold status.
