The window units to be removed are wood casement or wood fixed-pane units with single pane glass. The replacement windows vary in size and configuration (see sketch and Base Bid Table). Replacement windows in the 1960/1970 wings shall be wood-framed triple-glazed with exterior tan aluminum cladding and interior wood stained or painted, as indicated on the table (Pella, or approved equal). All windows are to be constructed with integral Slim-shade blinds, with hand-crank operators mounted at the interior bottom of the window unit.

The window units in the 1956 Annex Building are aluminum framed, with aluminum trim both interior and exterior. Most have an awning panel at the bottom that hinges open to allow natural ventilation.
