Project Case Study: Steel Lattice Windows & Doors Revitalizes East China University of Political Science and Law with Heritage-Centric Steel Window Solutions
Overview: Where History Meets High Performance
East China University of Political Science and Law (ECUPL), renowned for its century-old campus blending European
architectural elegance with Chinese academic heritage, faced a critical challenge: preserving its iconic steel windows
while upgrading them for modern functionality. Steel Lattice Windows & Doors, a global leader in bespoke architectural
solutions, delivered a transformative project that harmonized historical authenticity with cutting-edge engineering.
This case study showcases how Steel Lattice's precision craftsmanship and innovative approach restored ECUPL's architectural
legacy while achieving unparalleled energy efficiency, security, and aesthetic coherence.
The Challenge: Preserving Legacy, Solving Modern Problems
ECUPL's campus, a protected cultural site, features early 20th-century buildings with steel windows that had deteriorated due to decades of exposure:
Structural risks: Corrosion and warped frames compromised safety and insulation.
Energy inefficiency: Single-pane glass led to 35% higher HVAC costs.
Aesthetic discord: Mismatched repairs disrupted the campus’s cohesive neo-Gothic charm.
The university demanded a partner capable of replicating original designs (e.g., arched mullions, riveted grilles) while integrating modern thermal, acoustic,
and security standards—without altering the buildings UNESCO-protected facades.
Results: A Masterclass in Adaptive Reuse
Historical Accuracy，98% visually matches the original window from 1924
