306 Walnut

306 Walnut Façade

The 306 Walnut building in San Diego, CA has four levels including parking, a courtyard, and two levels of professional offices.  The building was constructed in the early 1970s and the facade featured solar bronze glass, bronze anodized aluminum framing, plywood spandrel areas in the courtyard, and picket steel handrails along the corridors.  LB Enclosures in concert with the design architect developed a detailed facade featuring new high-performance glass, re-cladding of mullions, projected feature elements, cantilevered glass handrails, and rain screen clear anodized cladding.  The retrofit was designed to allow for the work to be complete while the building was occupied with minimal disruption.  The building now has a more timeless appeal that will last for many decades to come.
