yundai Motor America has relocat.ed to
its new $200 million U.S. corporate
headquarters in Fountain Valley, California. The new headquaiters project represents
the largest investment in an office building
ever made in the U .S. by Hyundai Motor
Company. The general contractor for the
project was Hyundai Amco America, Inc.
The building design is sleek and modem ,
yet classic, and built on a structural pedestal
foundation with floatin g tran slucent g lass
floors above. The focal point of the building
is its impressive two-story high entrance,
which leads to an open-to-the sky pub lic
courtyard in the building's center. A showroom of Hyundai vehicles will be vi sible
from the freeway side of the new structure.

Des igned by g lobal architectural firm
Gens ler, the building uses a hi gh-perfo rmance ex terior g lass curtain wall sys tem
comprised of 900 panels and challenges
conventional wisdom . Rather than ordinary
reflective glass, Hyundai is using customdes igned lai·ge insulated glass (IGU) 5 ' x 10 '
panels that are specially glazed to provide
optimal energy efficiency, as well as exceptional visual clarity from both insid e and
outside the building.
Each curtain wall glass pai1el is comprised
of a series of glass layers, performance
coatings and a ceramic composition "frit,"
all of wh ich have been calibrated to provide
significant solar, I ight and acoustic benefits.

White frit "speed lines" on the glass reduce heat by
providing solar shading. Along with low-iron, clear
glass substrates in the panels, this provides building
occupants with a clear view and maximizes daylight
penetration.
The glass curtain wall 's energy-efficient design is
part of Hyundai's broader goal to achieve gold-level
LEED-certification for its new headquarters. Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)
is an internationally recognized green building certi-

fication process assessing the sustainability of a
building 's design, construction and operations.
The new building will be approximately 500,000
gross sq. ft., including a six-story tower connected to
a one-story, technical services facility. A free-standing
parking structure will also be part of the campus. The
facility is also home to HMA's Western Regional office and Training Center. Workers from MOBIS, Inc.
Hyundai 's parts arm are located in the new building
as well.
