The North Dock Expansion at the Zahner Campus.

Working with Crawford Architects in Kansas City, Zahner has raised the bar for architecture in Kansas City with an artistic facade on its own building.  Zahner engineered and produced the exterior facade for the new expansion, dubbed "Cloud Wall," a series of fins which runs along the side of the new 10,000 square-foot addition. Crawford Architects'  Stephen Colin, Michael O'Donnell, and Stacey Jones worked along-side Zahner engineers, designers, and Bill Zahner himself to develop an avant-garde billowing curtain wall of glass and aluminum.

The system that Zahner developed to produce this interlocking facade is part of the Inverted Seam™ Glass suite of panelized dry-set glass systems.  Part of the genius of this product is its quick installation process: each glass panel is fitted with Drop&Lock™ Hardware for a quick fit into the aluminum framework via male & female connections.

After the new facility nears construction, Union Sheet Metal workers at Zahner will use the space to produce massive ZEPPS™ assemblies which were previously difficult to build due to size restrictions. The new wing features a ceiling that is 16' higher than the already high ceilings of the existing facility. The interior height of the new facility measures just under 40' tall.
