Envelope Studies, Volume II: Temple University, Paley Hall We take a look at the facade of @Temple University’s new Paley Hall, where terracotta and exo engineering come together. From clay sourced in Germany’s Westerwald region to prefabrication in Pittsburgh, the facade features 44,000 square feet of custom glazed panels that were cut, prepared, and delivered for precise installation by exo Surfaces. The result is a refined, high performance envelope for the College of Public Health.
