System core providing the structural capacity and attachment points for the architectural precast facade and windows to the structure.
A lightweight, resilient façade system that’s disrupting the industry.
GateLite is a lean architectural concrete skin offering many of the design options found with traditional architectural precast. This all-inclusive system has a complete thermal, vapor and air barrier and eliminates on-site labor hours, as fabrication and assembly is performed safely on the ground prior to delivery. With GateLite, design teams can now create a true work of art.
System core providing the structural capacity and attachment points for the architectural precast facade and windows to the structure.
Attachment to the structure to provide bearing connection for the system, typically two bearing points per panel.
Attachment to the structure to provide lateral support for the system, typically multiple points per panel.
Incorporated into the system in a controlled environment at GATE fabrication facilities.
HFO closed cell polyurethane foam with zero ozone depletion sprayed on at GATE fabrication facilities.
Casts directly to the mainframe resulting in a lighter weight system.

Product Details
GateLite is a unitized system providing a complete façade that meets or exceeds energy and code requirements, while offering performance and design flexibility that can be customized per project. Finished and unitized with glass and insulation for a complete thermal, vapor and air barrier, GateLite eliminates on-site labor hours, with fabrication and assembly safely performed on the ground prior to delivery.
Case Studies
The new $636-million Baptist Hospital campus owes part of its project’s success to being built for the future. Situated on 57 acres, the main 264-bed hospital and six-story health center towers feature GateLite, a thin architectural facade system that reduces the structure’s carbon footprint and is finished and unitized with glazing and insulation for a complete thermal, vapor and air barrier.
Baptist Hospital Achieves Sustainable Design Through Prefabrication
ENR details how prefabrication brings sustainable, cost saving and labor advantages to a project.
Located in Coral Gables, FL, one of the principles behind the design of the STEM building is a lighter-weight structure, designed to meet the criteria for its location in a high-velocity wind zone. GATE collaborated with Perkins&Will to design a façade system that imposed no more than 48 psf dead load, served as a barrier system, and conveyed a sharp three-dimensional architectural surface articulation.
