The 6,000 square-foot Action Wildlife Museum is located in Goshen, Connecticut. The museum showcases taxidermy animals from throughout the world displayed in their natural settings, including two natural waterfalls. In back of the museum, there is a large covered pavilion with picnic tables for guests to use and enjoy. The project was created with metal systems from Metallic Building Company.

As one of the first high-rises constructed in the fast-growing Tysons unincorporated area of Fairfax County, Va., Adaire, a mixed-use residential community, stands out not only for its 35 stories towering into the sky but for its striking ellipsoidal design and modern facade. The project features aluminum composite material (ACM) cladding from 3A Composites USA.

The 13,600 sq. ft. Adam Joseph Lewis Center for Environmental Studies serves as a tool for Oberlin College (OH) students to learn how nature works and how humans interact with it. The Center is composed entirely of materials selected for their ability to contribute to a green building – including STYROFOAM™ Brand Extruded Polystyrene (XPS) Insulation. Several years after its completion, the building continues to inspire a generation of architects committed to designing functional yet innovative buildings that combat rising utility costs, economic dependency on foreign oil, climate change, natural resource depletion and landfill issues.

Adamson High School alums in the Oak Cliff area of Dallas, TX didn’t want to see their beloved old school demolished. District officials and many others, however, were pushing for the construction of a new school to better meet students' present-day educational needs. To resolve the dispute, the old building was preserved—and is now an historic landmark—while the new building was constructed close by. Among the materials used for the new school’s construction were insulated metal wall panels from Metl-Span.

Collectors eventually want to display their collection. A classic car enthusiast wanted a state-of-the-art facility in the Adirondack Mountains of New York; a “green” building to showcase his stable of Fords and Packards. To help the facility be energy efficient, insulated metal panels (IMPs) from Metl-Span were chosen for the roofing and walls.

Distinctive, awesome and bold. That was the design goal for the new corporate campus of Adobe in Lehi, Utah. The 680,000-square-foot campus is located directly off a major highway, putting the headquarters on display with the Traverse Mountains serving as a stunning backdrop. Dri-Design panels made with VMZINC brought a bold statement and identity to the structure while invoking a natural connection with the surroundings.

Technology and innovation that are modern and engaging drove the design and product selection for the Advanced Learning Library in Wichita, Kan. Citadel Architectural Products’ Envelope 2000® metal composite material (MCM), installed using the RainScreen (RS) attachment system with its modern, sleek and custom options, fit well into this concept.

The Chicago Bulls moved into their new Advocate Center practice facility in downtown Chicago in 2015.

Multiple architectural metal wall products from CENTRIA were used to create the new structure.

One of the largest hospitals in the Chicago area, Advocate Lutheran General Hospital is a 617-bed teaching, research and referral hospital, a Level I trauma center and home to Lutheran General Children’s Hospital, the only children’s hospital in the city’s northwest suburbs. It's also the Midwest's first LEED® Gold Hospital. Contributing to the hospital's environmentally friendly design was a Reynobond® aluminum composite material wall system. Reynobond ACM is manufactured by Alcoa Architectural Products.

Combining a variety of metal products from Varco Pruden Buildings, the AEP Ardmore Service Center in Fort Wayne, IN is both visually appealing and functional. The 84,000 sq. ft. facility features an inviting office area with maintenance shop space to service vehicles owned by the project's owner, American Electric Power Service Corp.

The concept of airparks isn’t anything new. They are all over the world. Aero Country East in the North Dallas Metroplex has taken the concept to another level, offering high-quality country club-type amenities and a maintenance-free aviation lifestyle community. Speaking to the quality of the development, each of the hangars are equipped with hydraulic doors from Schweiss Doors.

When Belgian Airforce military personnel at Aerodrome Beauvechain needed reliable mesh doors for their new helicopter hangars they went with the quality bifold straplift door offered by Schweiss Doors / Europe in the UK.

The new Aerzen USA plant in Coatesville, PA is one of the most environmentally-friendly industrial buildings in the state and is believed to be Pennsylvania’s first manufacturing facility to achieve LEED Gold certification. Aerzen manufactures high-end industrial blowers, vacuum pumps and compressors. A key feature in the facility’s energy-efficient, environmentally friendly design was its Metl-Span insulated metal wall and roof panels. Approximately 54,000 sq. ft. were utilized.

As the newest apartment complex on Colorado State University’s Fort Collins campus, Aggie Village had to be something special to attract undergraduate and graduate students to live on campus. The design team based its vision on LEED Gold buildings that foster rejuvenation while feeling like home. For the exterior, a curtainwall look was created with the more economical option of SinoCore®, a field-assembled cladding system from Citadel Architectural Products.

AgroChem, an innovative manufacturer of products to alleviate hygiene and sanitation challenges facing dairy producers around the globe, was planning to build a new 35,000 square foot, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., to accommodate their booming growth. With an emphasis on building with attractive, energy-efficient products, AgroChem’s design and construction team turned to Metl-Span.

Agtegra Cooperative has expanded its service area to reach rural customers in 60 communities throughout North and South Dakota. One of those communities is Harrold, SD, home of the Harrold Municipal Airport and the site of Agtegra’s new crop spraying hangar.

Inspired by the enduring, metal-paneled roof designs of Europe, homeowner Farhad Kazmian envisioned a curving zinc-tiled roof to crown his custom-built 5,300-square-foot, two-story residence. Known as "A-House" for it's A-shaped soaring peak, the roof's undulating, draping, fantastical "dragon scale" pattern was brought to reality with zinc from RHEINZINK America, Inc.

The vision of the American Institute of Architects and AIA Atlanta and Georgia is “Driving Positive Change through the Power of Design.” When AIA Atlanta and Georgia moved into new offices, an exhaustive search led to the specifying of a bifold liftstrap door from Schweiss Doors at the entry on the main wall facing the front of the building.

No space is wasted at Ainslie, a newly opened Italian restaurant in Brooklyn's Williamsburg neighborhood. To make the most of an outdoor space behind the old converted factory building, the restaurant's owners added a glass-clad bifold door from Schweiss Doors.

Searching for a perfect material to cover the roof and walls of the new Earl of Derby and Lord Sefton grandstands at historic Aintree racecourse in England, a British design firm put its money on Corus Building Systems' new Kalzip XT aluminum standing seam. The Building Design Partnership (BDP), used the 165'-long stucco-embossed aluminum panels to reach from the base of each structure to its peak, curving around the eaves as they made the transition from wall cladding to roof. The panels were designed using 3D CAD technology to ensure the correct twist as they followed the curvature of the gutters and fascia.
