Background:  The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science & Technology Directorate requires the installation  of  a vestibule at building 1451 Campus Drive, Fort Detrick, Md. 21702 using materials that match the existing front façade. The materials include a Kawneer Trifab 451T Thermally Broken Storefront System in a Dark Bronze Finish, Glazed with 1” Bronze Tinted, Insulated Glass to Enclose Covered Concrete Pad with Two (2) 53” x 90” Side Walls to Include Aluminum Panels at the Bottom, Vents at the Top, One (1) Fixed Lite and One (1) Casement Window Each, and Front Entrance 45”x90” with Custom Sized 41”x88” Narrow Stile Storefront Door with Frame.

The front of the building was originally constructed using specialized glass and framing systems supplied and installed by Hagerstown Paint and Glass Company. To maintain architectural integrity, uniform appearance, and compliance with facility design standards, the vestibule must be constructed using the exact same materials and methods. Hagerstown Paint and Glass Company is the only known vendor with direct access to the proprietary materials and specifications used in the original construction. Their unique knowledge of the building’s façade ensures that the new vestibule will seamlessly integrate with the existing structure, both visually and structurally.
