What is a STEKAR Lunch & Learn?
A STEKAR Lunch & Learn is a targeted technical presentation for professionals involved in design, envelope consulting, construction planning, and real estate development.
The goal is to help your team better understand the performance of façade systems, the impact of different assemblies on the project, and how to choose the right approach according to architectural intent, performance requirements, site constraints, and installation strategy.
It is a practical, interactive, and discussion-oriented session led by façade experts who understand the realities of commercial, institutional, multi-residential, mixed-use, and retrofit projects. We can travel to your offices, organize a virtual session, or adapt the format to your schedule.
