The Westin is part of a master plan to create the Uptown Entertainment District at the existing Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex, home to performing arts theaters, signature dining, 220,000 square feet of meeting space and the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame. In concert with the city’s vision for the entertainment district, the hotel’s bold design – featuring metal products from CENTRIA - leaves a lasting impression of luxury, sophistication and excitement.

The Westin Jackson is a 203-room hotel located near key downtown attractions in Jackson, MS. The building design communicates the area’s deep musical heritage with the help of CENTRIA products, metaphorically celebrating the birthplace of the Delta Blues and nodding to the music’s instrumentation, rhythm, and multi-layered composition.

Beauty, durability and affordability were all considerations in choosing to recover the existing shingle roof on the Grand Hall at Westlake Gardens with McElroy Metal's 138T Shingle Recover System. To ensure the new metal roof system looks great and lasts a long time, its panels and components were formed from metal featuring a Valspar paint finish.

Working from solid sheets of .125”-thick copper, M.G. McGrath of Maplewood, MN, fabricated and installed a truly one-of-a-kind screen wall for the Westminster Church in Minneapolis, MN. The screen was designed by Meyer & Scherer of Rockcastle, MN, and features the artwork of Coen & Partners of Minneapolis. The screen is installed across the front and back of the church property and required approximately 200 copper panels, each measuring 3’10”-wide x 8’ high, to complete.

Thanks to its modern design using a brilliant zinc-panel exterior that appears to float above a fieldstone foundation and vast expanse of windows, the Gateway Center presents a shining port of entry for students, many of whom are new immigrants to the United States.

With decorative appeal in mind, H & L Architecture of Denver, CO, utilized a variety of materials on the exterior of the new Westminster High School in Westminster, CO.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Those elements were rendered in wood and zinc from RHEINZINK.
