Exterior Technologies, Inc., a leading manufacturer of exterior facade materials and daylighting systems, provided custom polycarbonate exteriors for the Carmel High School Greyhound Activities Center.
Designed by the nationally renowned and award-winning educational architects, Fanning Howey, and built by Skillman Corporation, the project enhances Carmel High School’s athletic facilities with an energy-efficient design that prioritizes natural light, durability, and aesthetic appeal.
EXTECH custom-designed and manufactured 4,969 square feet of its LIGHTWALL 210 translucent wall system, a dual-wall polycarbonate glazing solution that provides superior thermal performance and soft, diffused daylight. Installed as clerestory openings across the east-facing and west-facing sides of the building, the system brings natural light to the athletic space, minimizing glare and reducing reliance on artificial lighting. Installation was completed by National Glass & Hardware, LLC in coordination with the project team.
“The Lightwall 210 system demonstrates EXTECH’s commitment to advancing daylighting design in education and recreation architecture. Through collaboration with the design and construction teams, this project showcases how polycarbonate systems can balance transparency, strength, and sustainability—creating bright, energy-efficient spaces that inspire student athletic performance and community engagement,” said Kevin Smith, RA, President at EXTECH.
