Minneapolis Eastside Maintenance Facility Kalwall Daylighting Project

In the early stages of planning for the New Eastside Maintenance Facility, the City of Minneapolis engaged HCM Architects and Adolphson & Peterson Construction for their design and construction expertise for the project.

HCM Architects has a long history of collaboration with W. L. Hall Company to incorporate natural daylight into their projects. As part of our collaborative efforts, we presented numerous budgets and conducted multiple daylight modeling studies.

These analyses helped the HCM team select the most efficient systems, configurations, and apertures for this significant Kalwall installation.

After careful consideration, the final choice for the New Eastside Maintenance Facility was to utilize Kalwall's Ice Blue exterior face sheets, both in the wall panels and as sunshades.

Kalwall's innovative daylighting technology offers the perfect balance between illuminating the interior spaces with natural light while maintaining optimal energy efficiency.

By using Kalwall's advanced daylighting solutions, the City of Minneapolis demonstrates its commitment to sustainability and environmentally friendly construction practices. The strategic use of natural light reduces the need for artificial lighting during daytime hours and lessens the building's overall carbon footprint, aligning with the city's broader eco-conscious initiatives.

Let the W. L. Hall Company provide daylight modeling on your next project to help ensure you are offering your clients the most natural daylight possible at the most efficient price.
