UNITIZED/PANELIZED • CURTAIN WALL • UW SERIES
UCLA Health Sciences Building Los Angeles, CA Perkins & Will
Design & EngineeringArcadia’s UW Series is a unitized/panelized cur-tain wall system avail-able in both captured, 2 side or 4 side structural glazed in a variety of depths, profiles and finishes. Arcadia works closely with architects
promoting highly comprehensive cus-tom unitized/panelized curtain wall systems combining both cutting-edge design and performance.
Success of a project depends in large part on creating solid estimates dur-ing the pre-construction and sche-matic design phase. Arcadia’s design and estimating staff works closely with architects, contractors, construc-tion managers and owners to identify efficiencies that can provide substan-tial cost savings.
Arcadia’s commitment to assist the architect with detailing, material appli-cations, finishes and constructability issues ensures that the project appli-cation meets - and exceed - expecta-tions.
Project ManagementBeing a highly structured process our project management staff has had a wide range of experience on com-plex projects. While understanding dynamics and the logistics within the construction process Arcadia is com-mitted to both quality and schedule. That commitment is executed while implementing a program of reporting methods, supporting ongoing internal progress meetings, reviewing sched-ules, engineering status, submittal approvals and manufacturing status.

The Arcadia UW Series meets key specifications for the following
performance test standards
Manufacturing CapabilitiesWithin our 200,000 square foot facility we have the capabilities to finish, fabricate, as-semble and glaze the most complex projects. Before all production begins laboratory test mock-ups are erected to perform all required per-
formance testing per AAMA, ASTM and NFRC standards.
The entire process, from design to drawing preparation, material management, testing, fabrication, assembly, glazing, packing and shipping is completed in-house. The manufactur-ing process is also inspected at every juncture through our Quality Control Pro-gram. Having these production controls allows Arcadia to maintain all schedule requirements.
Green &SustainabilityThe curtain wall industry has evolved rapidly over the past decade and Arcadia is in step with the technological trends in every arena. Arcadia’s design and engi-neering group has the unique abil-ity to provide component modeling for energy values related to Na-tional Fenestration Rating Council
(NFRC) compliance, shading and day lighting analysis. Arcadia is committed to develop and main-tain products that comply with the Leadership in Energy and Envi-ronmental Design (LEED) for Core and Shell Rating System.
Arcadia is also supporting the fast growing trend toward Build-ing Information Modeling technol-ogy by developing and providing BIM-based design tools enabling architects, mechanical engineers and general contractors to simu-late, analyze and document their designs more efficiently and accu-rately and ultimately deliver green-er building systems and healthier more resource-efficient buildings.
Optimizing en-ergy performance in buildings requires an inte-grated approach to building sys-tems designs, analysis and implementation. Building-Integrat-ed Photovoltaics (BIPV) is an in-creasingly popu-
lar approach for using the building skin as a means to harvest solar energy. More recent techniques involve systems of lighting, lighting controls, sensors and shading de-vices all integrated with the build-ing HVAC system.
Arcadia has the ability to develop custom integrated systems in re-sponse to your particular building performance requirements.
