Barnes County Courthouse
Project Location: Valley City, ND
In the course of renovating the courthouse’s interior, a crucial aspect involved the replacement of windows that deviated from historical accuracy. The North Dakota State Historical Society approved utilizing SCW5000 Series windows to address this. The primary objective was to reinstate the sightlines and aesthetic characteristics of the original metal windows to regain a more accurate representation of the building’s history.
The SCW5000 Series preserved the historic integrity of the courthouse but also offered the options, screens, and air conditioning features to enhance the overall experience within the building without compromising the architectural authenticity.
Moreover, the SCW5000 Series meets stringent energy-efficiency standards, aligning with contemporary sustainability practices and ensuring a responsible, eco-friendly approach to building design and functionality
