DS Update: Fox Blocks

Ten years ago this month we reported on the construction of a new Disney Springs building made of Fox Blocks. These are Lego-like building blocks that are heavily insulated. We wondered at the time why someone would go to that expense to build such a heavily-insulated building.

We quickly learned that this would be the new Coca-Cola Store which would include a mostly-glass exoskeleton along much of the outside. Since a glass exterior could get seriously hot in the sun, especially in summer, it was necessary to insulate the building itself from that heat. 

The more you know.
