Wheaton College
The students of Wheaton College come to the Anderson Common building to refresh and relax. We were able to provide an "Open Sky" feel to the entire common area with a continuous Ridge Style Skylight . Very Relaxing.
Chicago Field Museum
Established in 1893, the Field museum and it's artifacts are one of the oldest and most important institutions in the world. And when it came time to replace the massive skylight; we were able to devise a system that protected the building, artifacts, and patrons during the enormous project.
Renaissance Hotel Chicago
This beautiful skylight provides a breathtaking view of blue skies mixed with sunshine. Tapered at one end and rounded at the other; truly this showstopper is the crown of the Renaissance.
Montgomery Place
This project includes a custom steel frame, glass & aluminum conservatory with doors and operable roof vents. Also included, is one skylight that allows natural light into the new underground offices below. There is also a matching greenhouse with operable vents for the resident’s use and enjoyment.
Olivet Nazarene University
This Large Shed Type system over the lobby of the athletic center spans 71 feet across. We used 8" rafters and it incudes 3 arched dormers over the doors. It provides a spectacular space to proudly display the achievments of their atheletes.
The Moorings Assisted Living
This is a 3 sided, long span, Lean-To that hovers high above the lobby of this upscale Assisted Living Facility. It's massive size required us to use our 8" rafter system along with deep purlins.
ECC Culinary Arts
This custom 3 sided pyramid resides over the Culinary kitchen where the students prepare their meals. Because the students are filmed while they are performing, the space required lots of natural light which this skylight provides perfectly.

Widener Library - Harvard University
This historic library houses some beautiful architecural dome skylights that have been protected for many years by copper and glass coverings. We matched the existing coverings retaining the original look and feel but adding strength and integrity so the dome's would be safe for years to come.
