SMC is pleased to supply its Slenderwall® architectural precast concrete panel system as the exterior cladding for the renovation of the 9-story Nelson Harvey inpatient facility on the Johns Hopkins Medicine Baltimore Campus. http://www.smithmidland.com/slenderwa... After decades of wear, the hand-laid brick envelope of the facility began failing. The architectural firms Wilmot Sanz and Ayers Saint Gross needed a solution that met two criteria: one, that is was lightweight enough to prevent any need for additional superstructure or foundation costs; and two, that the facility would be able to stay operational during the exterior renovation. Slenderwall® met both requirements. Valued at approximately $1.9 million dollars, this project will have 158 Slenderwall® panels (27,164 sq. ft.) designed with a factory-applied Endicott brick facing, keeping in continuity with the campus and the original 1970's exterior.

Slenderwall® met both requirements. Valued at approximately $1.9 million dollars, this project will have 158 Slenderwall® panels (27,164 sq. ft.) designed with a factory-applied Endicott brick facing, keeping in continuity with the campus and the original 1970's exterior. Johns Hopkins also chose to include factory-applied closed-cell foam insulation and Smith-Midland's proprietary H2Out advanced sealant system with leak detection. The addition of these options will provide not only savings in time and on-site trades, but insurance against future air and water infiltrations. In March 2013, SMC began delivery to the contractor, Whiting-Turner. Completion of production is set for June 2013. The short schedule showcases the benefits of Slenderwall® in reduced times and costs for production, shipping and installation, as well as decreasing the need for some on-site trades.
