The White Mountain Administrative Complex in Campton, NH, features custom metal buildings by Star Building Systems. Totaling 14,296 square feet, the metal buildings were chosen for cost-effectiveness and for the ability to fulfill a design that resembled a typical New England sugar house. The buildings in this complex are covered by Star’s StarShield Roof System in Charcoal Gray color, along with reverse-rolled DuraRib Wall System panels in Light Stone color. Completed in May 2008, the 3-structure complex is LEED certified.

Approximately 8,500 sq. ft. of Metl-Span CF-36 Striated Insulated Wall Panels were selected as a key component on the third-largest Whole Foods store in the world. The 2” panels, finished in custom Vancouver Copper Kynar, were installed horizontally. Located in Lincoln Park, IL, the new 75,000 sq. ft. store includes seven neighborhood-themed eateries, a stage for music and seating for 400 in the eating and lounge areas. The store also offers a 420-car indoor parking lot.

A Space Sculpting metal fabric system from Cambridge Architectural lends contemporary flare to the interior of the newly constructed Las Vegas, NV, location of ‘Wichcraft, a trendy sandwich, salad and pastry shop. The woven stainless steel fabric system was installed as a moveable screen to define space in the eatery, located on MGM Grand’s Studio Walk. The shop’s bold and dramatic color scheme, contemporary seating areas and distinctive stainless steel metal fabric treatment contribute to the exceptional décor and dining experience.

School design has come a long way since the 1950s. Gone are standardized boxy structures, and in are spaces filled with natural light. Wichita High School Southeast is a new campus that replaces a 1950s structure and meets the community's growing population needs with current design practices. The exterior showcases Citadel Architectural Products’ Envelope 2000® metal composite material (MCM), installed using the RainScreen (RS) attachment system.

The project manager for glass and glazing subcontractor Alliance Glass & Metals, Romeoville, IL, wanted a panel system that his crew could install along with the glazing and curtainwall on the new Wickes Furniture project on Elston Avenue in Chicago. The patented Dri-Design® dry joint, pressure-equalized rainscreen metal wall system was selected to meet that objective. More than 2,600 sq. ft. of .080"-thick aluminum panels, with an Arcadia Green paint finish, were installed on the job.

The Wilford Hall Ambulatory Surgical Center at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Texas, is the largest outpatient ambulatory care center in the Department of Defense.

Among the materials featured on the facility, both inside and out, are Dri-Design wall panels.

Metal Sales Manufacturing Corporation, a leading nationwide provider of metal panels for the building and construction industry, supplied 11,500 square feet of sleek custom T16-L horizontal and curved horizontal siding panels to William R. Anton Elementary School in Los Angeles, CA. The new 98,000 square foot elementary school houses 1,176 students in kindergarten through fifth grade and features 51 classrooms, an outdoor play field and an underground parking structure.

As the most public building at the Williams Selyem Winery, the look of the winery’s administration building takes on added importance. To ensure the structure projected the desired image, the building’s designer, Alex Ceppi of D.arc Group in New York, utilized iconic elements of winemaking as a generator of form and meaning. Those elements were rendered in wood and zinc from RHEINZINK.

The new 110,000 sq. ft. Williamson College of Business at Youngstown State University is three stories tall and encompasses nearly a full city block. Completed in August 2010 at a cost of $34 million, it represents the largest capital expenditure in YSU’s 102-year history. Noteworthy about the project, given its cost and stature, is that zinc wall panels and coping are featured on its exterior. The material was provided by RHEINZINK.

Williston, North Dakota has a history deeply rooted in the railroad and agriculture industries, but a surge of oil-related jobs has brought new people and new construction. Case in point is the Williston Basin International Airport. Completed in 2019, it features a people-friendly terminal that reflects the history of the Williston Basin. Dri-Design Wall Panels were utilized to create a cohesive, welcoming look both inside the terminal and out.

The recently-completed Wilmington Organic Recycling Center (WORC) is situated on a redeveloped brownfield site near the Port of Wilmington, DE.

There’s always going to be competition when you’re bidding on a high-visibility re-roofing job.

After being awarded the contract, he made an old condominium shine again, with the help of metal roofing from McElroy Metal.

The community of Winchester, Indiana was in desperate need of a new roof for its aging high school. Teachers and students were coexisting in an interior environment that was wet, humid and had a repulsive smell. It was decided that a retrofit metal roof system would be the best solution for the existing problem. MBCI, a leading manufacturer of metal roof and wall systems, was approved as the supplier for both the framing system and metal roof system for the 108,000 square foot project.

The construction of a new 862,000 sq. ft. cold-storage warehouse and distribution center in Phoenix gives WinCo Foods a more economically favorable way to serve its customers in Arizona, southern California and southern Nevada. That it is the largest food distribution center in the state is something for the Boise, ID-based grocery chain to be proud of. But it is also a feather in the cap of Kingspan Insulated Panels, maker of the more than 500,000 sq. ft. of insulated metal panels used for the mammoth building’s construction.

The Poarch Band of Creek Indians has expanded their gaming empire with the addition of the Wind Creek Wetumpka Casino, Alabama’s newest and largest. Completed in December of 2013, this $250 million casino features an 85,000 sq. ft. gaming floor and an attached 20 story luxury hotel to capitalize on the spectacular views of the nearby Coosa River. MetalTech-USA Flatlock panels, fabricated from RHEINZINK titanium zinc, were chosen to clad much of the façade of this facility.

Two steel-framed structures by Varco Pruden Buildings anchor the Windsor High School Farm, part of Isle Of Wight County Schools in southeast Virginia. Blueridge General of Norfolk, Virginia was the Varco Pruden Builder for the project. The designer was RRMM Architects of Chesapeake, Virginia.

In places like Colorado, new metal roof installations are seldom complete without one final detail: the installation of a safe, reliable snow retention system. At the Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum, located at the former Lowry Air Force Base in Denver, the system chosen was ColorGard® by S-5!.

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.

For its design of a new parking structure at the Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport, Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects wanted to use architectural metal mesh as an exterior cladding material. The challenge to find a product that provided the desired level of screening and the necessary amount of open area was met through the specification of a Facade mesh system from Cambridge Architectural of Cambridge, MD. The selected system features Cambridge's Scale pattern mesh attached in tension with custom Eclipse hardware. The Scale pattern features a 62% open area while providing the security, safety and visibility design team members wanted.
