[Case Study] University of Washington: A Productive Partnership

View from window at University of Washington

Background:

The University of Washington (UW) owns a 22-story, 500,000 square foot commercial office space called the Tower Complex. Built in 1970, the building’s original drapery was beginning to draw complaints due to being soiled, outdated, and in some cases, disintegrating. It was clear that a replacement solution was needed.

Challenges:

With nearly 1,000 windows in total, UW determined it was not feasible to complete this project using internal resources. And because the tower complex is an occupied building with minimal storage space, careful coordination with building staff and a “just-in-time” delivery system would be needed to minimize disruptions.
