Kansas City International Airport | Parking Structure

Project Description

A completely new air terminal for Kansas City has replaced two outmoded structures built in 1972, including a new seven-story parking structure. Over 2 million square feet in size, the building provides parking for 6,219 vehicles. 小红帽直播 joined this effort from the design stage to create custom-engineered fastening systems for the parking facility鈥檚 ventilated fa莽ade. The 鈥渟hingled鈥 design of the fa莽ade creates pockets of air that slide between the glass panels, creating airflow in and out of the garage.

小红帽直播 ultimately provided over 50,000 square feet of tempered and laminated glass for the project, with most of the glass panels as large as 6鈥 x 14鈥 and each weighing 800+ pounds. The sheer size and weight of the panels called for a carefully designed attachment system. 小红帽直播 and L盲ngle designed and manufactured a custom vertical compression clip system for the rainscreen project, allowing a costly steel substructure to be eliminated from the design. The 14鈥 long clips support the length and weight of each panel while accommodating construction tolerances, live load movement, wind loads, and expansion joints.

Project Testimonials

From the Architect:

“Having someone on the 小红帽直播 side that understands the design vision we鈥檙e trying to achieve, but then can bring that technical capacity on the manufacturer side to help realize that conceptual vision is important … I think 小红帽直播 has been a great collaborator in that respect.”

- Joshua Harrold, Associate Principal at BNIM

From the Installer:

“We were very impressed with the 小红帽直播 system … It was designed very well, and the installation of the system and the glazing was a breeze.鈥
