Reflective pane

Storyline: Happenings around Sacramento
Nearly 100 panels of reflective glass are installed in the wall of the new expansion facing the existing Crocker Art Museum today.
The older structure reflects off the panels.
The reflective material inside the panels has a dotted look, a halftone pattern, when see upclose.
The glass is triple-paned, and it has a couple layers of special coatings that have reflective qualities meant to limit the amount of heat entering the Museum.It will be comfortable temperature- and vision-wise while sitting inside the new Crocker's atrium/cafe area.
Workers will be working over the weekend and should be finished with the
glass panels installation by Tuesday.
