Florida's Malachowsky Hall looks like something straight out of a futuristic fun house.

Malachowsky Hall at the University of Florida, a mid-rise building with a faceted metal-panel façade, trapezoidal punched window openings, a large glass curtain wall and a cantilevered glass box, viewed from a lawn with a blue emergency call station in the foreground.

The Malachowsky Hall at the University of Florida is a mid-rise, customized, metal-panel design featuring over 600 punched openings of trapezium-shaped, electrochromic glass with bird-friendly coating. The high-performance façade not only provides aesthetic allure but aligns with the university’s sustainability goals.
