Use of PBM Ventilation Blocks
PBM’s VB 191.100 ventilation blocks were selected to complement the industrial character of the building while supporting passive design strategies. Installed along exterior and semi-enclosed service zones, these blocks offer:
•Filtered daylight and visual texture
•Natural airflow in non-air-conditioned spaces
•A minimalist modular pattern that reinforces the tech-forward identity of PSC
The VB 191.100 block, with its square layout and clean geometry, provides an efficient and visually appealing solution suited to educational and adaptive reuse environments.
