High-Performance Curtain Wall Defines Duquesne's College of Osteopathic Medicine

Duquesne University opened its new College of Osteopathic Medicine, a six‑story, 100,000‑square‑foot facility that combines 80,000 sq ft of new construction with 20,000 sq ft of renovated space. The building’s façade features EFCO’s 5600 Series high‑performance curtain wall and D500 Series entrance systems, enabling the project to target LEED Silver certification. Designed by the SLAM collaborative and built by Gurtner and Rycon, the envelope delivers thermal efficiency, acoustic comfort, and reduced condensation, supporting natural daylight and occupant health. The college will admit 680 students by 2029‑30, addressing a national physician shortage.
