The Wentzville School District is one of Missouri's fastest growing, averaging more than 600 new students a year. School construction is nearly constant, with low maintenance and longevity at the fore of each new building's design. The latest structure, Journey Elementary School continues that trend, featuring long-lasting metal roofing from McElroy Metal.

Kentucky’s LEED Gold-certified, award-winning Louisville Free Public Library (LFPL) Northeast Regional Branch features naturally sustainable RHEINZINK-prePATINA® graphite-grey zinc exterior wall cladding. Designed by JRA Architects and MSR Design, the newly constructed, 40,000-square-foot facility serves 170,000 people in eastern Jefferson County as more than an information center.

Curtis Lemieux is a successful business owner and an accomplished pilot. He flies for both business and pleasure, keeping his plane in his newly renovated mancave/hangar at the Prince Albert Airport in Saskatchewan. The hangar has many bells and whistles including a pair of hydraulic hangar doors from Schweiss Doors.

The Winn Science Center at St. Mark’s School of Texas has become a signpost of the high quality of the new and upgraded buildings, with its classic copper roof and dome serving as signature design elements for the upscale campus – and they’ve also proved to be models of survivability in the face of severe weather. Petersen supplied more than 16,000 sq. ft. of its Snap-Clad panels in 16-oz. copper for use in flat roof portions of the project.

When it came time to erect a new office building, Kevin Johnson, owner of Rhoads and Johnson, a design/build construction firm in Fenton, MI, decided to stick to what he does best.

Rather than replacing the existing shingle roof on Cuyahoga Falls City Hall, Garland’s R-Mer® Loc system was chosen to handle the challenging reroof project. This high-performance metal solution would prove more adaptable to the building’s architecture, and installing hat channels and retrofitting panels would be far cheaper than reinstalling shingles.

Midtown Tampa, a hot social hub, now features a 48,000-square-foot Whole Foods Market, the ground-floor home to Novel Midtown apartments. The project includes 7,000 square feet of CENTRIA’s EcoScreen perforated 0.040-inch painted aluminum panels in Sherwin-Williams’ 6748 Green.

Oxford Pallet of Norwich, Ontario is efficient to the point that they repair pallets and recycle pallets that are not reparable. When looking to expand with a new assembly facility and a new grinding building, the hope was to erect energy efficient buildings. Insulated metal panels from Metl-Span quickly became a selling point for Brouwer Construction, an authorized Nucor Building Systems dealer, of St. Catharine’s, Ontario.

Designers of the Desert Diamond West Valley Casino in the Phoenix area drew on the desert's chameleon-like characteristic as they developed the “dynamic earth” theme that became a touchstone for their plans. They even carried that idea through to the parking garages that flank both sides of the casino’s main structure, incorporating perforated panels from Petersen that are graze-lit by color-changing fixtures to create a welcoming environment.
