Case Studies
ST. PAUL PUBLIC HOUSING AGENCY
Mt. Airy is the oldest public housing initiative in St. Paul. The original high-rise building was constructed in 1959, followed by two-story townhouses in 1965 and 1966. The townhouses and grounds were renovated between 1994 and 1997. Additional renovations and updates were begun in 2015.
In 2015 Lansing Housing Products (Tough Tek Metals®) was retained to provide security screens for the townhouses in a phased installation program. In 2021, five phases were completed with a total of 1,157 screens installed.

Lendlease hopes to finish installing Tough Tek Metals window safety screens in the majority of 156,000 upper-story windows in its 40,000 military houses by 2026. They initially tried using limiting devices on windows, which allows the window to open only a limited distance. However, installation fire departments pushed back on these devices because they block escape in the event of a fire. So, Lendlease’s innovation group and the environmental health and safety team worked with industry to see what was available, and teamed up with Lansing Housing Products to develop a strong screen, said Phillip Carpenter, Chief Operating Officer, Lendlease Communities . What’s most exciting is the potential for this innovation to make its mark beyond Lendlease.
