The Welcome Pavilion of the new Milton & Catherine Hershey Conservatory at Hershey Gardens is one of the first thing visitors see as they drive up to the popular southeastern Pennsylvania attraction. The Pavilion’s most prominent feature is a new curved metal roof from Drexel Metals, which almost seems to crown the new conservatory.

When Adam Hibbeler, equipment administrator at SAK Construction, O’Fallon, Mo., renovated his own home’s kitchen, he created a curved range hood with Flex-C Arch by Flex-Ability Concepts. The 86-year-old house has a Spanish style with many arches throughout the home, so Hibbeler's remodeling plan was to pull those arches into the kitchen.

Speed of design, cost, appearance, ease of changes during design and a structure-supported bridge crane all show the versatility of a custom metal building, by Star Building Systems, and why it was chosen for the construction of the High Plains Equipment – Case IH facility in Devils Lake, ND.

The world’s tallest observation wheel opened in Las Vegas on March 31, 2014. Railings featuring Banker Wire woven wire mesh guide visitors onto the 550-foot High Roller, which takes them on 30-minute rides high above the Las Vegas strip.

The new High Street Residence Hall at Dickinson College, showcases modern student living inside, and a zinc façade in durable, distinctive and sustainable RHEINZINK cladding, on the outside. As the first residence constructed in 40 years on the historic Pennsylvania campus, High Street opened in Aug. 2018, and in Jan. 2019, earned LEED® Platinum certification through the U.S. Green Building Council.

Metallic panels from Kingspan Benchmark and Morin clad Highlands Plaza Three, a four-story, state-of-the-art medical office building located in St. Louis, MO. HP3 accounts for 86,000 square feet of the 26-acre mixed-use campus developed by Balke Brown Associates. Project architect Gray Design Group, also located in St. Louis, specified 12,000 square feet of Integrity Series 22-gauge panels, X-12 and XC-12, while Kingspan Benchmark customized 8,000 square feet of two-inch thick insulated foam panels for the facility.

Along with providing a first-class shopping experience, the developers of the Highstreet Mall in Abbotsford, British Columbia were attempting to build one of the first LEED®-certified shopping centers in Canada. It was in that quest for style, energy efficiency and sustainability that Kingspan insulated metal wall panels were chosen for the open-air shopping mall’s construction.

A cost-effective design solution brought Dri-Design to the Hill 7 development in Seattle, WA. Dri-Design wall panels clad the exterior of the 222-room Hilton Garden Inn, and Dri-Design Tapered Series Panels are the polished stainless-steel soffit for the adjoining office building. This combination creates a spectacular streetscape for a downtown development.

An extension of the Hilldale Baptist Church, the Hilldale Baptist Church Family Life Center in Clarksville, Tennessee was designed for recreation and fellowship. The facility houses a racquetball court, a weight and fitness room, a gym, a senior adult area and a large fellowship hall that can seat 800 people for banquets and 500 people for worship. CENTRIA’s Versawall panels and Formawall Dimension Series products were selected for use on the project.

The Hillsboro (OR) School District made plans to construct stand-alone gymnasiums at elementary schools that were sharing gym and cafeteria space. W.L. Henry Elementary School and McKinney Elementary School were among the first of eight gymnasiums to be constructed, as Metallic Buildings structures, completed with Metl-Span insulated metal panels (IMPs) for the roofing and walls.

The Hilton Baltimore Hotel lies in the Inner Harbor area, a prime business, historic and cultural district in downtown Baltimore, Maryland, adjacent to the Baltimore Convention Center with direct covered access via pedestrian sky bridge. The 24-story hotel’s exterior features more than 200,000 square feet of CENTRIA metal panels. The building’s off-white and silver hues give the hotel a modern and upscale appearance and help it blend seamlessly with the connecting Convention Center.

In a city as dense as Chicago, where space is at a premium, it can be difficult for new building projects to stand out. Thanks to the vision of GREC Architects, metal claddings from CENTRIA and premium architectural coatings from Valspar, the new Hilton Garden Inn in the city's North Loop does just that.

The Santa Rosa, CA, Hilton Garden Inn is located approximately one mile from the new Sonoma County Airport. The hotel features 90 rooms, a small fitness center, indoor swimming pool and hot tub, 1,000-square-foot conference area and restaurant. Chosen by the architectural firm to meet the building’s design plan, the Hilton Garden Inn features 29,000 square feet of Firestone UNA-CLAD™ UC-4 .032” aluminum metal roofing.

Situated along the Chicago River and just minutes from the upscale retail, restaurants and museums of Michigan Avenue's Magnificent Mile, the new Hilton Garden Inn Chicago/North Loop offers 191 rooms and nearly 100,000 square feet of space to visitors of Chicago's booming North Loop neighborhood. The hotel features insulated metal panels in multiple hues from CENTRIA.

One of the requirements for this Hippocrates Health Institute facility was that the roofing product needed to meet Miami-Dade and Florida state approvals. The 22-sided “circular” structure, located in West Palm Beach, FL, has a conical roof configuration. DECRA Roofing Systems’ Villa Tile stone-coated steel roofing met those requirements, as the panel style of the product performs well in the high wind zone—while also offering outstanding aesthetics and long-life, low-maintenance advantages. Nearly 5,300 sq. ft. of the Venetian Gold colored roofing were used.

Approximately 8,600 sq. ft. of Metl-Span’s Tuff Wall® panels provided the stucco-like appearance that was a key design component for the corporate headquarters addition to the Hitchiner Manufacturing facility in Milford, NH. Hitchiner is a premier casting supplier to manufacturers in the aerospace gas turbine engine industry.

Hmong College Prep Academy’s (HCPA) mission is to provide the best integrated, most challenging, and well-rounded educational experience to students in grades K-12. Located in St. Paul, Minnesota, HCPA is a charter school that retrofitted a former health club into an educational facility. Metal products from CENTRIA played a key role in the exterior design of the 78,300 sq. ft. academy.

The designers of the Hofbrauhaus-Chicago brewery wanted to hide that new building's rooftop equipment. They also wanted an overall aesthetic for the project that closely matched that of the well-known Royal Brewery in Munich, Germany. Thanks to rooftop equipment screening from RoofScreen Manufacturing, they were able to meet those objectives and more.

A diagnosis of cancer always brings with it a certain level of worry and uncertainty. That's why the doctors group behind the new Highlands Oncology Group Cancer Treatment Center in Rogers, AR, wanted their building to create a pleasant, welcoming environment. To that end, the building needed to have just the right look. After all, first impressions are important and new patients want to feel like they are getting the best possible treatment. Through the specification of Citadel wall panels on the building’s exterior, the building succeeds at sending that message.

When clever design meets expert installation, metal building projects like Holgate Square are the result. Located in Seattle, WA, the four-building, 26,800 sq. ft. development was completed in June 2010 at a cost of $1.5 million. Johnson Architecture & Planning LLC of Seattle was the architect. It designed each of the structures - which range in size from 3,300 to 15,000 sq. ft. - around metal building framing systems from Varco Pruden Buildings Inc. of Memphis, TN. Charged with putting the buildings up was CHG Building Systems Inc., an authorized VP Builder from Renton, WA.
