West Liberty University decided to install a new press box at their football stadium requiring a new railing system.

When Purdue University required a world-class design for Hagle Hall, the home of Purdue’s Orchestras and All-American Marching Band, they called upon Browning Day Architects of Indianapolis, Indiana. The Stainless Steel Post Mounted VISION™ railing system was the perfect design accent to the facility’s modern aesthetic and open floorplan.

HMS Architects of New Orleans was tasked by Oschner Medical Centers to design a new campus for their facility located in Kenner, Louisiana. One of their concerns involved exterior guardrail on a down ramp. Due to corrosion and high maintenance, both Oschner and HMS have had issues with traditional welded and painted steel systems in the past. They have observed that repainting the top rails of painted railing costs from $5 to $10 per linear foot every three to five years.

Maple Dale Elementary School, situated in Cincinnati, Ohio, decided to build several new buildings and contracted the architectural work to CR Architecture + Design of Cincinnati. One of the architectural decisions they faced was that of choosing a railing system. Based on both CR’s experience and that of the school, they wanted a less maintenance intensive system than the painted steel system that had been used in the past.

Indiana University’s Memorial Stadium was due for a redesign of the railing system, which was contracted to RATIO and SmithGroup for design. The design concept was complex, calling for glass railing that was both shoe mounted and post mounted, as well as wire mesh infill panel railing. The original design called for a series of custom post shapes that were unique, but more expensive than the budget could bear.

Joe Vejraska, project architect for GHN Architects and Engineers, worked with the Springfield Public School District in specifying a railing system for the new construction of Glendale High School’s Commons Area. For both aesthetics and maintenance reasons, the owner and architect wanted a railing that was something other than traditional welded painted steel.

Project Architect Jean Underwood comments:

Spartanburg School District Two chose Jumper, Carter and Sease Architects from West Columbia, South Carolina for their design and Thompson Turner Construction as general contractor for the recently completed construction of the Boiling Springs High School. The architects of Jumper, Carter and Sease specified Hollaender’s Stainless Steel VUE™ Railing system as a basis of design and coupled it with a white-opaque interlayered PVB glass to provide both a modern and airy feel throughout the facility. The railing was manufactured out of stainless steel which enhanced the sleek modern design and also provided an ultra-clean look throughout the school. Design and construction of modern educational campuses provide unique challenges in terms of railing design and economic value in a budget conscience environment.The Stainless Steel VUE™ system provided economic value compared to other manufacturers and will continue to provide safety, durability, stability and accessibility to the the students and staff of Boiling Springs High School years to come.

The Interna-Rail® 2-line architectural railing system by Hollaender offers an exceptional structural solution for school district capital improvement projects, combining rugged durability with a clean, contemporary aesthetic.

Hollaender supplied the complete railing package for the Waynesville Performing Arts Center, a 460-seat multipurpose auditorium serving both the Wayne Local School District and the surrounding Waynesville, Ohio community. The scope covered every guarding and handrail condition in the building, from the lobby and vomitory to the tiered seating, stairs, ramps, and sloped aisles.

The Dr. Earl D. and Melanie N. Brooks College of Health Professions at Trine University’s Ft. Wayne campus, features an elegant railing system designed by Ft. Wayne based Design CollaboraƟve, with supply and installaƟon managed by Spohn Associates of Indianapolis.
