SUNY Downstate - Brooklyn, NY

The new 8-story Academic Research Complex for the School of Public Health at SUNY Downstate is a design by Ennead Architects. The building is composed of three "stacked" boxes, of which two dramatically sit atop V-shape supports.

Adjustable subframing was the key to this successful facade installation. ECO Cladding's Alpha Hci.10 subframing system with adjustable brackets allowed the Swisspearl® fiber cement panels to easily be installed with definitive symmetry. Our Alpha brackets, with a built-in 1.5” adjustability, could smoothly accommodate in-the-field tolerances, making it an efficient process for various trades to work together to create perfect lines.
