Semans Library at UNC School of the Arts

About the Project

Semans Library at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts is a 75,000 sqft that cost over 15 million dollars to construct. Found lining the glass wall that spans across the entire facade are CS’ vertical sunshades. The sunshades used in this project help reduce the amount of direct sunlight that flows through the glass wall. The sunshades not only serve a functional purpose as they also enhance the building's exterior aesthetics, allowing designers to improve both form and function simultaneously.
