Gensler, a leading architectural firm in the region, approached W. L. Hall Company & McKEON Door with a request to enhance the security of a high-profile building in Minneapolis, MN.

Detailing this massive project was challenging due to the compressed soffit and componential curtainwall. In addition, we had to create customized motor designs and unique details to address the security requirements of this highly distinguished building while maintaining its aesthetics.


In the end, we installed eleven assemblies resistant to both tornadoes and hurricanes to prevent any external penetration of the building.
