This project included the renovation of Fairfield University’s existing School of Nursing along with a new building, three times the size of the existing building. The existing building received new windows and doors updating its mostly brick façade. The new construction includes a bridge, which is enclosed in glass, connecting the two buildings. The front of the new building is clad with 10,000 square feet of curtain wall and 4,800 lateral feet of terra cotta sunshades, and is trimmed with metal panel fascia and soffits. There are new technical simulation areas enclosed with sliding doors and glass partitions, simulating a real hospital environment.

Installed components included:

• 18,000 square feet of EFCO Corp. 5900 Curtain Wall
• 1,900 square feet of EFCO Corp. S945 Storefront
