During the design phase of the new Westminster Neighborhood Services facility, one of the main goals was to construct a building that would hold up over time and serve the community far into the future. Envelope 2000® metal composite material (MCM) from Citadel Architectural Products offered the style, color and durability the board was looking for.

Nestled in a semi-tropical paradise on an arm of the St. John’s River near Jacksonville, Fla., the new Westminster Woods on Julington Creek retirement community offers active seniors an ideal setting. The wooded 90-acre campus combines neighborhoods of detached villas, and garden and waterfront apartment homes featuring metal roofing from Petersen.

In Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada, Westside Common fuses elements of metal building and conventional construction to create an image appropriate for both its commercial office and retail tenants. Advance Design & Construction Ltd. of Medicine Hat, an authorized builder of pre-engineered metal building systems by Robertson Building Systems, designed the 360’ long x 86’ wide structure. Ground was broken for construction of the 30,120 sq. ft. building in November 2008 with completion wrapping up one year later.

Large banks of floor-to-ceiling windows, a grand piano and a “healing garden” for quiet contemplations are just a few of the innovative features that greet patients at the $100-million Allegheny Health Network Wexford Health + Wellness Pavilion, which opened in fall 2014. The facility featured metal products from CENTRIA.

WGBH, the nation’s preeminent creator of public broadcast content, recently consolidated operations from a dozen buildings into a three-facility complex in Boston, MA.

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 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.

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.

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.
