Sharjah Shopping Mall: OpenAire created a unique oval skylight for the centrepiece of the amazing 280,000 square-foot (26,012.85 square meter) Sharjah Shopping Mall in the United Arab Emirates. Built with a durable aluminum frame and glazed with insulating glass, this skylight will be the largest aluminum dome in the Middle East. Measuring 242’-9” (74m) long by 154’-2” (47m) wide and standing 68’-10” (21m) high, this skylight will cast the main retail areas in vibrant, inviting natural light. OpenAire is excited to be a part of this monumental project and looks forward to Sharjah Mall’s completion at the end of 2018.

We expected that [with visitor growth], in year three or four of our proforma we could get to $2 million in day passes. We were able to do that in the first year of opening.

Prior to covering the pool, we had very little winter usage, and only limited evening usage. We now have a full pool…our aquatic income has increased over 40% since adding the cover…OpenAire has made a big difference to our YMCA and to the people in our community.

The Mission Valley YMCA has been partnering with OpenAire for over 20 years with great success. With the pool enclosure and retractable roof, we are able to provide a wide range of programming throughout the day and during different times of the year. Certain water exercise programs like the Arthritis Group really benefit with the pool enclosure. Over time, several YMCA facilities in San Diego County have moved in the direction to partner with OpenAire and have had pool enclosures installed to benefit their members and participants. We look forward to continuing to work with OpenAire in the future.

OpenAire gave excellent support throughout the design and construction process… The rooflight was delivered on time and installed on schedule. The result is a stunning restaurant which is commercially successful and provides diners with a truly memorable experience.

With the OpenAire building we get to use our park year-round. With the glass enclosure you get to enjoy the view outside without the chilly temperatures of fall and winter. And on those sunny days we can open the roof for the ultimate experience of the great outdoors while still indoors. It also saves with our HVAC system, we can shut it down with the roof open, saving money. And during the day, no lights required!

Our membership has tripled. The community loves the whole thing. They can’t believe we have this here in Milford. The OpenAire structure gave us what we were looking for.
