Our Contribution

GCCM Corp served as the glazing and aluminum systems contractor for this educational facility. Our scope included the removal of existing window units and the installation of new, high-performance aluminum-framed windows. Precise measurements, clean detailing, and strict adherence to safety standards ensured a seamless installation suited for a school environment.

Key Features

The project features durable aluminum window systems designed for longevity and low maintenance. High-clarity insulated glass units were used to enhance daylight penetration while improving thermal performance. The window design complements the building’s exterior while supporting a safe and comfortable interior learning space.

Challenges and Solutions

Working within an active school required careful planning and scheduling.
Solution: Installation activities were coordinated during off-hours and low-traffic periods to ensure safety for students and staff. Existing structural conditions were addressed through detailed field verification, allowing accurate fabrication and a smooth installation process.

Impact and Benefits

The upgraded window systems significantly improved interior lighting and energy efficiency throughout the school. Classrooms now benefit from increased natural light and improved temperature control, contributing to a better learning environment. The project enhanced both the functionality and appearance of the facility while providing a long-lasting, low-maintenance solution.
