To spur the local economy, government officials in the Baden-Baden area of Germany granted permission for a retail development on land previously designated as a conservation area. On the heels of that decision came the design and construction of the new Cité Shopping Mall. It features 260,000 sq. ft. retail space contained in a pair of round buildings connected to one another by a covered passageway. The buildings were designed by Form A Architects and clad with nearly 140,000 sq. ft. of stucco-embossed Kalzip aluminum standing seam panels.

In the addition and renovation of Citizens State Bank’s main headquarters in Somerville, TX, BBA Architects, LP, of Brenham, TX, sought to carry forth the architectural identity it had helped establish in two earlier branch designs.

With the aim of consolidating five public works departments into one campus, the City of Bend, Oregon, wanted a facility that would serve long-term growth while being designed with resiliency, well-being and energy efficiency.

Hennebery Eddy Architects, headquartered in Portland, OR, specified 102,360 square feet of the material for the exterior walls.

In May 2016, the City of Greenville, SC contracted with DP3 Architects of Greenville, Harper Construction of Greenville and Ceco Builder ProSteel of Clover, SC, to build their new facility.

Sited within a New Urbanist neighborhood of traditional-style homes – and across the street from Memphis’ Mississippi River shoreline – the new, very progressive Civitas house makes a strong statement in its looks, alone. It’s also a high-performance residence, achieving multiple energy and environmental certifications. Metal wall and roof panels from Petersen play a starring role in in both its design and performance.

In 1963, the population of Fishers, IN was around 350 people. Today, the city is home to more than 75,000.

Playing a key role in the design of the new school were architectural metal products from CENTRIA.

The Clarks Logistic Center in Hanover, Pa., is a 451,000-square-foot distribution facility.

The building achieved LEED® Gold Certification for its high-performance building envelope, among other factors.

Whirlwind Steel Buildings, a metal building manufacturer headquartered in Houston, TX, together with Crain Group LLC, a construction management firm, were key players in the completion of a 10,000 sq. ft. addition to the Clear Lake Chinese Church in Webster, TX.

The building has morphed into a mix of open and enclosed spaces with ample room for basketball courts and a stage for theatre productions.

Growth and expansion have defined the ongoing evolution at the University of Houston-Clear Lake (UHCL) during recent years. The transition from a commuter school for continuing education into a four-year campus with resident students created the need for a recreation and wellness facility that serves as a campus landmark. With the help of material from McElroy Metal, the school now has it.

When the owner of the Clearwater Ice Arena wanted to expand the current building, hoping to lure the local National Hockey League team into a state-of-the-art practice facility, constructing an energy-efficient building was among the top considerations. Insulated metal panels (IMPs) from Metl-Span provided the solution with the desired R-value, while offering single-pass construction to help erect the building quicker and with less expense.

Renovations and an addition to the Clemson Littlejohn Coliseum at Clemson University utilized the uniquely multi-purpose capabilities of CENTRIA’s Formawall® Dimension Series® insulated metal panels.
