Visalia Emergency Communication Center

For this new emergency operations and communications center, the design team at Darden Architects selected Elward’s DRY system as a high-performance panel system for the ACM panels. Similar to unitized curtain wall design, the system is designed utilizing continuous double-gasketed interlocking perimeter extrusions with interior chambers used to control water infiltration. This design provides a “dry” wall cavity condition without the reliance on an air and water barrier.
