The structural renovation of Riviera Middle School highlights Sol-A-Trol's expertise in retrofitting legacy South Florida infrastructure with advanced, impact-resistant fenestration technology. Partnering with H.A. Contracting and KVH Architects, Sol-A-Trol supplied an integrated solution comprising Series 3000 Impact Casement, Series 3000 Impact Fixed, and Series 5000 Impact Window Wall systems. Engineered for the Miami-Dade County Public Schools system, this comprehensive replacement successfully upgrades older structures into full compliance with modern Florida Building Code mandates.
The heavy-wall aluminum construction of the Series 5000 Window Wall and matching Series 3000 window profiles creates a highly rigid building envelope capable of resisting intense positive and negative storm pressures. The combination of operable casements and static units provides targeted fresh-air ventilation and uninterrupted views. For architects and developers handling demanding retrofits, this project demonstrates how Sol-A-Trol systems seamlessly interface with existing structural parameters to upgrade wind-load resistance and property aesthetics.
