Columbia Business School adds new ‘layer cake’ style glass buildings

Two new buildings are now part of Columbia Business School’s campus in Manhattanville neighborhood, N.Y., both designed in a layer cake format, with a system of varied glass exterior walls to align with different programming needs, let in natural light, and views of the city, and foster creativity, innovation, and communication.

NASA awards $57.2M contract for development of construction system on the Moon

A contract of $57.2 million by NASA to a construction tech and 3D-printing firm will aid in the research and development of space-based construction systems relying on lunar and Martian resources as building materials, supporting planned exploration of the Moon and beyond.

American Concrete Institute releases code on glass fiber-reinforced polymer bars

The American Concrete Institute (ACI) has released the first comprehensive building code on the use of nonmetallic, glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars in structural concrete applications, which builds on an earlier steel reinforcement code and provides an alternative to the reinforcement’s applications.

Gilbane to manage Virginia Museum of Fine Arts’s largest renovation and expansion

The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (VFMA) in Richmond has selected the Gilbane Building Company as the Construction Manager at Risk, charged with planning and supervising construction of the museum’s upcoming renovation and expansion project, the largest expansion in its history.

Protecting a structure against air intrusion

Air barriers create airtightness and help protect against energy loss, water infiltration, and other hazards impacting the durability and resiliency of a building and the comfort and health of its occupants. Climate conditions, temperature, location, and intended use of a building all are factors to consider for the specification...

High-performance building envelopes

Existing older buildings will typically have little to no insulation within the envelope, resulting in excess heat loss and increased energy consumption, and often do not have any water-resistive and air barriers, making them very leaky, further increasing energy losses. The addition of insulation in exterior walls and roofs, combined with a water-resistive barrier, is integral to improving building performance.
