University of Alabama at Birmingham - Inpatient Rehabilitaion
Birmingham, AL
Replacing the aging Spain Rehabilitation Center located in the heart of Birmingham, AL, this new 11-story 350,000 sqft facility features 106 new patient beds for the University.
Veil was contracted to translate the architect's vision for shade operation and glare control into the first set of dedicated roller-shade-specific construction documents in the United States. Veil handled all low voltage design, power design, detail review, fabric selection, and control sequencing to ensure the design and construction teams could realize the benefits of a well-designed shading system. Veil was also contracted through the construction administration phase to ensure all product was compliant with the design intent.
Key features include Mermet Koolblack technology in key areas to minimize solar heat gain and a voice controlled motorized shade system in the Activities of Daily Living (ADL) suite to show recovering patients how technology can help regain independence by removing the need to manually operate a window treatment.
