Lyman B. Goff Middle School in Pawtucket, Rhode Island underwent a significant building‑envelope improvement initiative centered on replacing aging windows with high‑performance Winco systems. Winco’s 4410S Single Hung and 1450S Hung Replica windows were selected to preserve the school’s traditional architectural character while delivering modern performance benefits.

Technoform’s warm‑edge spacers were incorporated into the glazing system to help reduce heat transfer at the edges of insulated glass units contributing to improved energy efficiency and overall envelope performance at Goff Middle School.

The window replacement project at Lyman B. Goff Middle School demonstrates how thoughtful material selection—paired with high‑performance technologies such as Technoform warm‑edge spacers—can dramatically enhance both the energy efficiency and learning environment of an aging educational facility.

The results include:

  • Improved thermal comfort
  • Reduced energy consumption
  • Better acoustics
  • Enhanced building durability
  • Preservation of historical aesthetics

This project stands as a model for K‑12 building‑envelope modernization that balances tradition with high performance.
