The Corpus Christi Bayfront Arena in Corpus Christi, TX, utilizes 53,000 sq. ft. of CF36A polyurethane foam insulated panels installed in both horizontal and vertical directions. Manufactured by Lewisville, TX-based Metl-Span, the 2”-thick panels feature a Bright Silver Duranar paint finish, lending to the striking appearance of the 150,000 sq. ft. multi-purpose facility. The building was designed by Thompson, Ventulett, Stainback & Associates of Atlanta.

The venerable Coxe Cage field house at Yale University in New Haven, Conn. remains an integral part of the school’s track and field history thanks to the building’s new metal roof supplied by Petersen Aluminum. Although the old cinder track and dirt floor were replaced with modern surfaces in 1982, the roof and its large, single-glazed skylight – both of which had deteriorated badly and needed replacing – had remained largely untouched for 80 years, until late 2013.

The Creative Technology Accelerator is not only the first building in Dayton’s technology park known as Tech Town, but it is also the City of Dayton’s first LEED Gold building. The 42,000 sq. ft. high-tech facility will house companies developing business in advanced technology sectors. How appropriate then that the building is clad in part with an advanced technology product—a patented dry joint, pressure-equalized rainscreen system from Dri-Design. Approximately 10,000 sq. ft. of the .063” aluminum panels are featured on the building, in Sherwood Green, Sandstone and Patina Green colors.

The dramatic RHEINZINK-clad “flying wing” sets the tone for the stunning transformation of an aging corporate complex into the new, futuristic-looking home of the Capitol Region Education Council’s new Academy of Aerospace and Engineering.

During the 2010 Winter Olympics, the Creekside Community Centre served as a media and administrative centre. At the conclusion of the games the building was turned over to the City of Vancouver, where it serves as a lasting recreation legacy. The 45,000 sq. ft. facility exemplifies Vancouver's commitment to sustainable construction. Featured on the building's exterior are 18-gauge panels fashioned from RHEINZINK® material.

The Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento lays claim to being the oldest continuously operating museum in the Western United States. Yet the museum's best days may be ahead, thanks in part an ambitious renovation and expansion plan that saw 100,000 sq. ft. of new space added. Juxstaposed with the Crocker Art Gallery, family mansion and various additions through the years, the new volume is itself a modern work of art. It is clad with aluminum plate panels and Flat-Lock panels from RHEINZINK America Inc.

Since their introduction in the mid-2000s, Crocs has become one of the world's most recognizable shoes. Now the shoe company has a flagship New York City retail location that's every bit as iconic. ALPOLIC® composite metal panels, finished with Valspar's Valflon coating, were key to creating the storefront's innovative look.

It used to be that churches, no matter the religious affiliation, shared many similar traits – never straying too far from a consistent set of traditional and expected details: stained glass, a steeple, pews, song books, a piano. Today, tradition has given way to reinvention as can be seen at The Crossing Church in Sequoyah County, Oklahoma. It was brought to life with the help of products from Star Building Systems.

The Crossroads School in Norfolk, Virginia is the district’s first LEED-certified educational facility. The original structure was built in 1945 and was recently replaced with a new, 145,000-square-foot campus. The K-8 facility won one of only three Gold Design Awards presented by the 2012 Virginia School Boards Association at the Exhibition of School Architecture. Part of the project’s design success is owed to the ALPOLIC ACM featured on its exterior.

The Metallic builder for the project was Farrell Construction Inc., who has developed a longstanding relationship with the college by working on projects with other departments of the school for the past few years.

A growing presence at the right time can mean so much to a company. CrownAir Aviation, a full-service fixed base operator (FBO) at Montgomery Executive Airport, has learned this during its 70-year history. CrownAir Aviation recently added an FBO office and two hangars to its site. One entrance to the office building features a curved arch created with Flex-C Trac and Flex-C Angle from Flex-Ability Concepts.

Though covering just 600 sq. ft. of area, the Omega-Lite® panels featured on the Crowne Plaza building in Fort Myers, FL, play a huge role in the building’s look and character. The building was designed by Gora McGahey of Fort Myers and features as its architectural highlight a large wave-form canopy clad with Kynar-finished Omega-Lite® panels in a custom yellow color. The panels were manufactured by Laminators Inc. of Hatfield, PA.

Using products from CENTRIA, the California State University Monterey Bay College of Business is a $43 million project created to house offices, labs, classrooms, conference rooms and student study areas.

Sustainability played a major role in HMC Architects’ design for the Seaside, CA project.
