UCI Middle Earth Housing Expansion

 Striking the ideal balance between maximized daylighting and controlled heat gain, Mithun architects selected Solarban® R67 (formerly Solarban® 67) Solexia® glass by Vitro Architectural Glass (formerly PPG Glass) for the LEED® Platinum-certified Middle Earth Expansion for the University of California, Irvine’s (UCI) living-learning community. The new 6-story, 215,000 sq. ft., mixed-use facility promotes a “see and be seen” vibe with 30% of its façade clad with glass. Enhancing the transparency, operable windows deliver natural ventilation to 80% of the spaces in the building.
