Overview

When the University of Minnesota set out to renovate historic Pillsbury Hall, it faced the significant challenge of matching new windows to the aesthetics of the 112-year
old building and the surrounding campus.

Returning the Pillsbury to its historic grandeur meant creating energy-efficient, low maintenance units that precisely captured every detail, from special, curved-clad units to clad Authentic Divided Lites (ADL).

Signature Services master millworkers went to work dissecting, replicating and carefully fitting historic windows. The result? Authenticity with enduring performance

Project Details

• To fit with the original stonework, Signature Services experts molded extruded aluminum to match the historic casing profile. They also created a custom window color to match the existing shade..
  
  
• Single double-hung windows were configured in a sliphead-like fashion. This replacement solution allowed the original millwork and plaster to remain undisturbed, dramatically cutting installation time.
