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.

When Hurricane Michael hit the Florida panhandle in October 2018, the damage was devastating. Among the buildings battered but still standing was the Holiday Inn in Panama City. To help bring the hotel back to life and stronger than ever, the project team incorporated innovative building envelope products from Kingspan Insulated Panels North America.

The Holiday Inn Express hotel in Wauwatosa, WI, was recently provided with a new, updated look thanks to canopies topped with curved panels from Floline Architectural Systems. The new canopies' panels, utilizing Floline’s 900 Series Panel formed from 22 gauge steel with a Kynar Silver Visulure II finish, were crimp-curved to a 37’-1 ½” radius and 25’-1 ½” radius. Due to the complexity of the project, interaction between the installer and the Floline Design Team was paramount.

The new Holiday Inn Manhattan-Financial District is lighting up the Wall Street neighborhood with a brilliant metal-paneled façade. Crafted from Reynobond® Aluminum Composite Material (ACM), the facade attracts and reflects light to brighten the street-level pedestrian landscape around it. The new hotel also provides a new superlative for Manhattan. At 50 stories tall, it is the tallest Holiday Inn in the world.

As Norway’s most recognizable mountain, Oslo’s famous Holmenkollen now boasts a newly rebuilt ski jump, which has already been honored as the chosen site for the Nordic World Ski Championships. Designed to withstand harsh winds and symbolize the success of the Norwegian capital, the new Holmenkollen is clad with stainless steel woven metal mesh from GKD.

In 2005, Holy Family Catholic Church was renovated and a metal roof was installed. CB Goldsmith and Associates designed the church and F.G. Metals in Largo, FL, installed the roof. ATAS International Inc.’s 2” Field-Lok panel was chosen to complete the project because of the ATAS International Inc.’s weather tight warranty program, and the architect’s preferences for this type of roof.

The Holy Resurrection Chapel, located in The Gardens at Gethsemane in West Roxbury, MA, offers a place where Orthodox families can observe and practice the customs and traditions of the Orthodox community. Fittingly, the chapel's design incorporates RHEINZINK titanium zinc roofing from RHEINZINK America Inc., a material with a rich, historical tradition of its own.

Located in Carmel, IN, the newly completed Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church is both traditional and unique. And while similarities and differences between it and the usual byzantine-orthodox style would be most familiar to those in the know, the building's massive golden dome is something everyone can appreciate. Measuring 52' in diameter and weighing 50 tons, it is clad with standing seam metal roof panels that were fabricated and installed by M.G. McGrath of Maplewood, MN. The firm also fit sheet metal to the 20 round window dormers that surround the dome, and shop-fabricated two smaller domes that top towers located on either side of the building's main entrance.

With the well-known retailer's new store sitting at the base of the Holland Tunnel--a spot where more than 100,000 cars pass daily--there was a desire to give the two-story parking structure attached to Home Depot's new Jersey City, NJ location a visually appealing, yet equally durable exterior. This led to the specification of a Parkade™ metal fabric application from Cambridge Architectural, featuring 14,700 sq. ft. of the company's Mid-Balance fabric and Eclipse™ attachment hardware. The store and parking deck were designed by SBLM Architects, New York City, NY.

Home2 Suites by Hilton Chicago River North was designed for travelers who want to maintain their normal routine. It features 206 suites and a range of tech-focused and eco-conscious amenities, while becoming the company’s 300th property. Utilized for its construction were more than 46,000 square feet of insulated metal panels from Metl-Span.

The new home for the Homewood Board of Education Central Office in Alabama is a modern 14,500 sq. ft. structure, which marks the first phase of a long-term development plan on a 24-acre site in a suburb of Birmingham. The facility features a variety of PAC-CLAD metal products from Petersen.
