Sacred Heart University Selects View Smart Windows for Premier On-Campus Hockey Arena
November 02 2021 - 6:00AM
View, Inc. (NASDAQ: VIEW) (“View”), the leader in smart building
technologies, announced its Smart Windows are being installed at
the brand-new Martire Family Arena at Sacred Heart University in
Fairfield, Connecticut. The state-of-the-art facility will be the
future home of Sacred Heart’s men’s and women’s NCAA Division I
hockey programs, club hockey programs and the university’s
nationally ranked figure skating team.
The arena is the crown jewel of Sacred Heart’s multi-year campus
expansion program. An important component of the project included
increased natural light throughout the rink, but designers were
concerned that heat through the windows would melt the ice. View
Smart Windows, which automatically adjust in response to the sun,
solve this problem. Based on a cutting-edge electrochromic coating
and driven by artificial intelligence, View Smart Windows provide
continuous access to natural light and views, while controlling
heat and glare.
“Skating arenas rarely have windows, but we’re building a venue
unlike any other,” said Marc Izzo, Vice President of Construction
& Facilities Management at Sacred Heart University.
“Incorporating View Smart Windows throughout our extraordinary
ice-skating facility will give players, students and guests a
completely new and cutting-edge experience.”
View Smart Windows have also been proven to reduce building
energy consumption from HVAC and lighting by as much as 20% and
provide significant health benefits to building occupants. In a
recent study, people working behind View Smart Windows experienced
half as many headaches, slept 37 minutes longer each night, and
performed 42% better on cognitive tests. This is especially
valuable for a world-class training facility, where student
wellbeing is paramount and alert, healthy athletes are critical to
success.
“The opportunity to transform educational and athletic
facilities to improve both sustainability and student wellbeing is
massive,” adds Brian Klansky, Regional Vice President at View.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Sacred Heart to integrate wellness
and sustainability into the entire student experience.”
JLG & S/L/A/M Collaborative served as lead designers on the
project. The Sacred Heart University arena will also feature
several amenities for students and guests, including a pro shop,
food venues, suites, meeting rooms and offices.
