This year marks the 10th anniversary of the iconic Dove Federal Building, FBI’s Miami regional headquarters, completed in 2014. Designed with sustainability at its core, this project aimed for the ambitious 2030 Zero Environmental Footprint goal. The high-performance curtainwall systems provided by Enclos feature floor-to-ceiling glass that dynamically responds to the sun’s angles. These facades not only enhance transparency for over 1,000 employees but also minimize solar heat gain and maximize natural daylight. Spanning more than 200,000 sqft, our team delivered comprehensive design-assist and design-build services, including blast-resistant facades and stunning AESS parapets. Awards and accolades: 🏆 Best of the Best: Government/Public Building, Engineering News-Record, 2015 🏆 Project of the Year, DBIA, 2015 Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA) 🏆 Design Award Citation, GSA, 2014 Learn more about the project at https://lnkd.in/eDWNsXtx GSA HENSEL PHELPS Jacobs Gensler Krueck Sexton Partners Thornton Tomasetti Gordon H.

At Enclos, developing facade systems for government facilities involves the utmost security and confidentiality. Our expert designers and engineers navigate multiple performance requirements, including blast, ballistic, forced-entry, and ground-accessible penetration. Government buildings often feature taller floor-to-floor heights, requiring deeper and more robust unitized curtainwall systems. Our project management team excels at coordinating the heightened security and confidentiality needed for courthouses, embassies, and other government structures throughout procurement and construction.

Located in the heart of Indianapolis, the Sidney & Lois Eskenazi Hospital, a replacement facility for the former Wishard Memorial Hospital, serves all of central Indiana. Completed in 2012, this state-of-the-art facility was brought to life after a remarkable 85% voter approval in a 2009 referendum, signifying the community’s support for modern, high-quality healthcare. At Enclos, we’re proud to have played a crucial role in constructing one of the nation’s most environmentally responsible healthcare facilities. With over a dozen different wall systems and facade elements, including curtainwall, rain screen metal panels, structural precast panels, and louvers, the enclosure system is a testament to our commitment to superior design and engineering. We incorporated more than 20 types of glass, each selected for specific performance needs, from solar control to bullet resistance. Our dedication to sustainability is reflected in our use of local union labor and local product and service buyouts. The Sidney & Lois Eskenazi Hospital achieved LEED Gold certification in 2015, making it Indiana’s first building to earn this prestigious designation. “In addition to participating in the construction of a top-quality hospital, we look forward to working with city leaders to make a positive contribution to the community, as we have done in other communities in which we have worked,” says Adam Peine, general manager of the project. At Enclos, we are dedicated to providing adaptable, cost-effective, and dependable facade solutions.
