Higher Education: How Marvin Windows and Doors Brought New Light to an Old School

The K-12 school building in Richfield Springs, N.Y., a lovely piece of historic architecture, needed work on its windows, which were aging badly and in dire need of attention. Though the option was considered, restoration wasn't a realistic answer; nearly all the windows had deteriorated too badly. Instead, the school district asked Marvin Windows and Doors to help specify replacements that would match the school's traditional design, while also bringing to bear the advantages of 21st-century window technology. The story of how Marvin did it is an object lesson in schooling a willing but inexperienced client in the myriad details of a complicated restoration project.
