Bendheim’s Turnkey Fusion Light Wall System Debuts at Research Center

A medical research facility at the University of Missouri has pioneered the use of the TurnKey Fusion Light Wall system, a complete solution for backlit glass cladding from Bendheim.

Located on the University's flagship campus in Columbia, Mo., the entryway of the Roy Blunt NextGen Precision Health Building features Bendheim's LE'Diffusion Safety Glass, vibrantly decorated with a custom graphic film.

The TurnKey Fusion Light Wall system integrates Fusion LED backlighting panels into the company's TurnKey system for mechanical attachment of interior glass. Glass panels are mounted using a simple rail and key system that requires no special tools—and they can be demounted just as easily for maintenance needs, or in the event of a redesign.

While any Bendheim laminated or tempered glass can be mounted with TurnKey Fusion, Bendheim's LE'Diffusion glass is specifically designed to provide even, shadow-free dispersion of LED lighting over a maximum 8' span. The Fusion LEDs have also been engineered to provide uniform light throughout the system. Just as importantly, the entire system hugs the wall with its minimal 2 1/16" overall depth.

Designed by Burns & McDonnell, the 265,000 square foot NextGen Precision Health center is designed to foster cross-disciplinary collaboration in the field of precision medicine, an approach to healthcare that is tailored to an individual's genes, lifestyle and environment. In keeping with the program's mission of hope, an MU faculty member used magnified cross-sections of her own late father's lymphoma cells to create the entryway artwork.
