Harlem Hospital Center
Harlem Hospital Center
Designed by HOK the Harlem Hospital Center showcases a unique facade that is also a memorable public art display. 429 completely unique, low-e laminated, insulated, digitally printed pieces of glass come together in one 13,000 sq. ft. modern masterpiece that pays homage to “Pursuit of Happiness” historic murals. Careful testing and control of opacity levels with the Alice® digital printing system control light levels to maintain privacy while creating a spectacular glow, both inside and out.
Alice® direct-to-glass printing was utilized to bring a series of historic murals to life describing the migration story of African Americans coming to the United States, from slavery through the Harlem Renaissance.
GGI invested a significant amount of time in experimenting with varying levels of opacity and exacting the ink, consistency between panels, registration and framing to achieve HOK’s design goals.
It was critical that the public art display incorporated into the glass look stunning day and night, and when viewing from the interior looking out—as well as the appearance viewed from the exterior of the building.
