Kornberg School of Dentistry -
Exterior and Lobby Restoration

Temple University

Philadelphia, PA

Temple University commissioned OZC to do a replacement and restoration project for all the Broad Street-facing windows of their old dental school. The 1930s-era building was originally a Packard Motorcar showroom. Our design team developed a plan that included curtain wall systems for the first and second floors and single-hung windows for the third and fourth floors. We worked closely with the curtain wall and window manufacturer to produce an assembly that consisted of the types of profiles relevant to the historic nature of the building.

The curtain wall assembly features include a band of spandrel glass with a custom-designed frit pattern that evokes the Temple Owl logo and a second pandrel row of stone that replaces the deteriorated stone panel that was part of the original façade.
