LEXINGTON MIDDLE SCHOOL | CORPUS CHRISTI, TX
Location: San Antonio, TX
Owner: San Antonio Zoo
Lexington Middle School is a new, 160,000-square-foot campus for the Corpus Christi Independent School District (CCISD). Located on the city’s south side off Yorktown Blvd., the school was built to accommodate regional growth and provide a modern learning environment for sixth through eighth-grade students. Designed by Gignac Architects and constructed by Fulton Construction, the facility features collaborative learning hubs, a media center, and advanced athletic facilities. Binswanger Glass played a crucial role in executing the building’s complex glazing plan, which was engineered to meet the stringent safety requirements of a coastal region.
Hurricane-Rated Protection: Given its location in Corpus Christi, the building’s exterior was fortified with hurricane-rated impact systems. Binswanger Glass installed Kawneer’s 1600IR curtain wall and IR 501T thermal storefront framing to provide maximum protection against severe weather without sacrificing natural light.
Integrated Glazing Systems: The project features a comprehensive suite of Kawneer products to create a seamless aesthetic. In addition to the impact-rated exterior, interior spaces utilize Kawneer’s 1600 Wall System®1 and Trifab® VersaGlaze® 451T framing. Exterior entrances are secured with 500T Insulpour® thermal doors, while interior passages use 500 Standard Entrances.
Energy and Safety Performance: The glazing package features Guardian Glass SNX 62/27 on Green, fabricated by Precision Glass Industries, to deliver superior solar control and energy efficiency. For enhanced safety, the design includes a fire-rated entrance from SAFTI FIRST®, ensuring the building is not only resilient against storms but also optimized for the daily safety of students and staff.

The structure's design seamlessly mirrors the contemporary aesthetic of the Mobility Center, featuring clean lines, matching metal finishes, and an advanced glazing system installed by the expert contract team at Binswanger Glass. Sleek, Modern Aesthetic: The skybridge utilizes a YKK AP YCW 750 Structural Silicone Glazed (SSG) curtain wall system. This design creates a smooth, uninterrupted glass surface that enhances the bridge's modern look while providing structural integrity. High-Performance Solar Control: The glazing features Vitro Architectural Glass's Solarban® 90, a high-performance solar control, low-e glass. Fabricated by Wholesale Glass, this product offers exceptional solar control to minimize heat gain and glare, ensuring a comfortable interior environment year-round while allowing for clear, expansive views of the surrounding cityscape. Customized Privacy and Design: To add a unique visual element and enhance privacy, the glass was treated with a 3M Dot Matrix Gradient Film. This decorative film provides a subtle transition from transparent to opaque, adding a layer of sophisticated design to the structure's overall appearance. Binswanger Glass's precise installation ensured this complex, multi-component system achieved both the architect's design intent and the owner's performance requirements.
