US Bank Plaza | St. Cloud, MN

The Challenge

The U.S. Bank Plaza renovation presented a unique architectural requirement. The general contractor & architect wanted to integrate a canopy through the curtain wall—a design rarely attempted. This approach demanded precision engineering and installation techniques beyond standard curtain wall practices. Additionally, the project called for bold finishes like Classic Bronze and Boysenberry, ensuring durability and aesthetic appeal.

Our Solution

Heartland Glass, supported by the Brin family of companies, leveraged its extensive experience and skilled glazing team to meet these challenges head-on. Our crew of expert lead glaziers executed the complex installation by dropping components into place rather than laddering them up—a slower but necessary process for structural integrity. We partnered closely with Crawford Merz and the architect to ensure the design intent was honored while maintaining safety and performance standards.

Results Accomplished

The project was completed successfully, delivering a striking design that combined functionality with aesthetic appeal. The Kawneer curtain wall integrated flawlessly with the canopy, and the Classic Bronze and Boysenberry finishes provided a durable, long-lasting solution with superior warranty protection. Despite the complexity, the team maintained schedule and quality standards, reinforcing Heartland’s reputation for precision and reliability on challenging projects.
