CREC Academy of Aerospace and Engineering

Windsor, Connecticut

The CREC Academy of Aerospace and Engineering was a renovation involving the transformation of an existing 165,000 sqft. office building into a state-of-the-art magnet school for 735 students in Grades 6 through 12. With differentiated areas for high school, middle school, aerospace/engineering classes, and assembly, its façade theme honors Connecticut's aeronautics and aviation history.
How Max Compact Exterior Added Value
The rainscreen façade's color design is inspired by images of the Lunar Nebula taken by the Hubble Telescope. Max Compact Exterior panels, with their wide range of decors, were able to supply a variety of colors from different palettes that all combined help to create this cosmic effect.
