Similar to its sister museum in Los Angeles, the new Grammy Museum in Cleveland, Miss., is dedicated to presenting the past, present and future of music, and the cultural context from which it emerges. Logically, then, the stylistic new structure shines a focused spotlight on the deep musical roots of its Mississippi environment. Corrugated metal panels from Petersen are used prominently on the facility.

Metal Sales Manufacturing Corporation, a premier nationwide provider of metal panels for the building and construction industry, provided a total of 47,500 square feet of bold, sleek metal paneling for both the interior and exterior of the new Grand Canyon University (GCU) Student Recreation Center in Phoenix, AZ.

Adorning the recently completed office building is approximately 10,000 sq. ft. of Englert jobsite-rollformed metal roofing.

The Studio City neighborhood of Los Angeles was established along with the prominent movie studios during the early 20th century. In one of its high-end apartment complexes, a new water feature created with Banker Wire mesh, emphasizes the connection between Studio City and the movie industry – and provides a canvas for multimedia entertainment.

Hangars are by and large an unglamorous building type. That is not to say, however, that they aren’t vitally important to the protection of expensive property. And one of the key features of any hangar is its door. It needs to be reliable and it needs to be strong. That was the thinking behind the specification of a Schweiss bifold door for a hangar adjacent the administration building Granite Falls Municipal Airport in Granite Falls, MN.

Located only a stone’s throw from the Gulf of Mexico, a new 4,500-sq.-ft. residence in Grayton Beach, Fla., is a “gorgeous addition to the neighborhood,” said roofing contractor Jamie Carter, president of Cartercraft Roofing, Santa Rosa Beach, Fla.

Great Falls Elementary School is among a select number of schools in Maine to be heated and cooled exclusively with a geothermal system. That says something not only about the school’s design, but also about those making project decisions. That those same people saw fit to top the energy-efficient school with standing seam roofing from Englert Inc. is equally impressive. It is a testament not only to the reputation of metal roofing in general, but also for the products of Perth Amboy, NJ-based Englert in particular.

The four-story Michigan Tech Great Lakes Research Center provides 15,000 sq. ft. of state-of-the-art laboratory space and classrooms intended for biological, chemical, and physical research and education.

The monument integrates two dramatic elements that symbolize the strength of the Mexican Army and the work of the Armed Forces over 100 years.

In January 2012, the 1,200 students of Virginia Beach’s Great Neck Middle came back from winter break to receive one last gift – a new school. Completed in December 2011, the over $35 million dollar project consists of a three-story building employing sustainable materials, the newest technologies, and an aesthetically appealing structural design. Among the materials used to give the building its modern look are ALPOLIC ACM aluminum composite wall panels from Mitsubishi Plastics Composites America.

There were plenty of challenges associated with the installation of metal roofing on one of the newest homes in Belgrade Lakes, ME, but nothing the project’s accomplished metal roofing fabricator/installer couldn’t handle. C.O. Beck & Sons of Waterville, ME, installed the roofing on the 6,000 sq. ft. home, like so many of the homes in the exclusive resort area. And as is routinely the case with Beck & Sons’ projects, the contractor’s roofing of choice was Englert job-site rollformed metal.

A new 24,510 sq. ft. kiln building was constructed for Green Acre Farms to be used as a hop drying facility for the Wapato, Washington operation. Measuring 114’ wide x 215’ long x 28’ high, the kiln building features products from Star Building Systems.

Playing a key role in the success of this project was a 39,000 sq. ft. metal building supplied by Ceco Building Systems.

Greenfield Manufacturing, a contract chemical manufacturing company in Sarasota Springs, NY, needed a new facility, having outgrown the building it was leasing.
