Boston Medical Center

The Boston Medical Center (BMC) Yawkey Lobby renovation marks an exciting milestone for GlasCurtain as our first U.S. project! This transformation, featuring our cutting-edge Thermaframe 9 PH system, brings natural light and a sense of openness to an existing concrete structure.

BMC’s design had to meet the stringent Massachusetts Stretch Code, a unique challenge given Boston’s cold climate and the high glazing ratios specified. GlasCurtain provided proven solutions that empowered the architects at Tsoi Kobus Design to meet their vision for aesthetics, performance, and budget.

This project expands GlasCurtain’s expertise in healthcare environments, especially in cold climates where high humidity often leads to condensation and mold in conventional building envelopes. Thermaframe 9 PH helps mitigate these issues by keeping the surface above the dew point even at -18ºC (0ºF) with 50% relative humidity. With our triple-glazed fibreglass-framed system, BMC can minimize condensation risks and simplify maintenance for years to come.

Completion is expected in 2025.
