Project Spotlight - Skylights Illuminate PAST Innovation Lab

Major Industries recently provided a few Auburn® glass skylights for the PAST Foundation Innovation Lab in Columbus, Ohio. The PAST Foundation is made up of scientists and educators who work together to create programs for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) schools that focus on a learn-by-doing approach.
Auburn® Skylights

The newly renovated warehouse that's home for the Innovation Lab is divided into hands-on learning labs with flexible seating areas and access to the latest technology. WSA Studio designed the space, which has a central design feature - a large “agora” space that can accommodate overflow from adjacent classrooms and provides additional separate learning space. The highlight of the space are two large Auburn® glass single slope skylights that provide access to daylight for both the space itself and the adjoining rooms. Access to natural light, especially in a location such as this in the central part of a building, can make the space feel more inviting, and cut down on artificial lighting needs during peak use hours.

See You @ the AIA National Convention!

The 2016 AIA National Convention and Expo in Philadelphia is only a few days away, and we've been busy getting ready for the Expo with a new booth, some new samples and free give-aways. If you're headed to the convention, we encourage you to stop by our booth - #1922 - and check out what's new in skylights, wall systems and canopies. From translucent panel systems to glass and polycarbonate multi-wall, as well as mixed glazed systems, we have a daylighting solution that's sure to fit your needs.

Major is also participating in this year's Expo Chat program. By stopping by the booth for a 15 minute discussion about daylighting, and getting our verification code, you can earn Learning Units (four 15-minute chats add up to one LU - and you can get up to six total). No appointments are necessary, and you can chat about a number of topics from new products to the pros and cons of materials.

We hope that you're able to attend the convention this year, and look forward to seeing you at the show on May 19-21, 2016!

Thanks to the AIA-Wisconsin Expo Attendees!

Major Industries recently exhibited at the AIA Wisconsin Convention and Expo along with our local representatives, AluSpec. We'd like to thank everyone who stopped by the booth, whether it was to check our our daylighting systems, pick up a pen and a notepad, chat about the cold and rainy weather or enter our gift card drawing.

Next up for Major is the AIA National Convention and Expo in Philadelphia May 19th-21st, 2016. We hope to see you there! (And cheesesteaks here we come!)
