Bendheim and Längle designed and manufactured a custom vertical compression clip system for the rainscreen project, allowing a costly steel substructure to be eliminated from the design. The sheer size and weight of the panels called for a carefully designed attachment system. The “shingled” design of the façade creates pockets of air that slide between the glass panels, creating airflow in and out of the garage.īendheim ultimately provided over 50,000 square feet of tempered and laminated glass for the project, with most of the glass panels as large as 6’ x 14’ and each weighing 800+ pounds. Bendheim joined this effort from the design stage to create custom-engineered fastening systems for the parking facility’s ventilated façade. Over 2 million square feet in size, the building provides parking for 6,219 vehicles. A completely new air terminal for Kansas City has replaced two outmoded structures built in 1972, including a new seven-story parking structure.
