Hamilton East Public Library Fishers Branch
Fishers, IN
From concept to reality! WALTEK is pleased to present the glass enclosed, color changing, “Teen Program Room” at the Hamilton East Public Library in Fishers, Indiana.
WALTEK utilized our CladTek Cablenet support structure consisting of sixty-four one-inch diameter braided stainless steel cables that were tensioned between the ground floor and the roof structure to create this eye-catching conical shape and design.
Each cable required a 5,000-pound tension load to suspend the custom patterned glass and stainless-steel point supported fittings. Three colors, fifty-nine unique patterns, and 336 pieces of custom radiused/laminated glass were created for this project. In addition, the entire glass structure can change colors via LED backlighting for special events, holidays, or just for fun! The “Teen Program Room” acts as a meeting space and an ornamental feature within the library that also encloses the building mechanicals at the ground floor.
