About this Project
When the Notre Dame Academy embarked on a major 35,000 square foot expansion project, they wanted a showstopping architectural feature to crown the new 3-story building. They chose an octagon-shaped glazed skylight by Crystal Structures to serve as both beautiful design statement and functional growing space for students.
Measuring nearly 19 feet across, with a 6 foot ridge height, the impressive skylight suffuses the top floor with natural light. Four automated vents, each 36 inches wide, allow for ventilation and temperature control.
The skylight’s eight glass panels create a breathtaking space that students can use for raising plants or simply enjoying panoramic views of the surrounding 68-acre campus. As the capstone of Notre Dame Academy’s latest expansion, the glazed skylight provides a striking design focal point rich in possibilities for learning and growth.
