We like shades.

At Veil we specialize in numerous project delivery methods all shaped by the core belief that a properly designed shading system is key improving to how a user experiences their space.  

Project Highlight

Joslyn Art Museum 

Omaha, NE

In 2021 the famed Joslyn Art Museum broke ground on a stunning $100M, 42,000 SF expansion that will usher in a new standard for museum design and construction in the country.   Pieces from the Phillip G. Schrager Collection of Contemporary Art were donated to the permanent collection of the museum and will sit in galleries where both patrons and artwork alike will be protected from sunlight with one of the most high-end shading systems in the region.  The shading system - based around the Draper I/O control backbone - features numerous custom-designed details and requires careful coordination between structural, curtain wall, mechanical, electrical, and ceiling scopes.  The networked system enables the client to control the shades based on scheduled events, exhibits, and even tailor response specifically based on sun position.  Many small-scale changes are continuously worked into the shading system as the design was tailored to react to the minute details of the daylighting study. 

 

Construction will be completed in 2024.

University of Nebraska - North Stadium Expansion

Lincoln, NE

One of the most storied college football programs in the country will soon also be host to the largest training facility of any program.  Veil's team worked closely with one of the world leaders in roller shade fabric manufacturing - Mermet - to offer fabrics that were individually tailored to the uses and orientations of each room.  This $155MM project will deliver 350,000 SF of world-class athletic space to the Cornhuskers and includes a shading system that will seamlessly integrate into training facilities to produce a building fit for the state's top athletes.

University of Nebraska - Strauss Performing Arts Center

Omaha, NE

This final phase of the $23M project sought to overhaul the 1984 concert hall at the University of Nebraska’s Omaha campus. Our team provided sleek motorized roller shades, strategically zoned for maximum usability.  We tailored our solution to provide glare control to the new classroom additions and the renovation of the existing computer lab in the school’s expanding music technology program.

RTG Medical - Headquarters

Fremont, NE

This new $18M headquarters for Fremont-based RTG Medical gives workers over 54,000 SF of stellar new corporate office space.  The building's floor-to-ceiling curtain wall is fully equipped with a state-of-the-art motorized shading system - perfectly suited to allow occupants stunning views of the adjacent lake.  Motorized shades we also used in an interior golf simulator to provide privacy and golf ball control.

After the initial installation of the roller shades, a solar tracking/automation control suite was added and commissioned to provide increased control and improve occupant comfort.
