MTA White Plains Train Station

Our glass rainscreen, featuring approximately 400 panels of textured, color-fritted, tempered-and-laminated safety glass, is part of the $95 million renovation of the MTA White Plains train station, located just outside of New York City. Our team developed a miniaturized, “slim” Wall-F compression fitting for the project to achieve the desired aesthetic and expedite the glass installation. The project required just two months to complete, as workers installed up to 20 panels per day. The blue ceramic frit was specified by the architects and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority as a match to the MTA logo color. It turns the glass into an intuitive wayfinding and branding element. Cladding each of the station’s platform entrances, the tailored “MTA blue” glass guides commuters to the nearest approach.
