Designed to foster collaboration, study, and community, the Alan Magee Scaife Hall at the University of Pittsburgh features open, light-filled spaces—even in transitional areas like stairwells. To support this vision, the design team selected the Fireframes ClearView® System which incorporates butt-glazed Pilkington Pyrostop® fire-rated transparent wall panels with a Fireframes® Heat Barrier Series perimeter frame.  The result? A visually connected environment with enhanced daylighting and transparency, all while meeting stringent fire and life safety codes.
