There are numerous reasons why the stunning Indigo apartment complex won Silicon Valley’s 2016 Market-Rate Residential Project award, including its remarkable beauty, immense size, attractive location and array of high-end amenities.

Infinity Meat Solutions LLC recently opened a 200,000 square foot meat-packaging facility, developed with an estimated investment of $100 million. With the majority of the facility being earmarked for cold storage, Metl-Span’s insulated metal panels served as a major component of the project.

Practicality and product familiarity led an architect and his wife to choose corrugated metal panels for the exterior walls of the home they built for the view along the Mississippi River. McElroy Metal’s Multi-Cor panels, installed horizontally, provided the durability and unique aesthetic they were looking for.

When the Denver-based WorthGroup was selected by the Mescalero Apache Tribal Council to provide architectural and design services on its new Inn of the Mountain Gods resort and casino, the tribe requested that the new complex blend into the stunning landscape of the Sierra Blanca Mountains in central New Mexico. It was in an effort to meet that goal, while giving the tribe the best building it could that Englert Inc. standing seam metal roofing was chosen to cover the hotel.

Whether they’re developing highly advanced data server racks for military use or educational toys to inspire the next generation of engineers, robotics developer Innovation First International is at the forefront of technological advancement. For a company founded on the belief that product and technological innovation are vital to success, it’s no wonder the company turned to a state-of-the-art Metl-Span building envelope for its new, 63,500 square-foot headquarters.

Based in Elkhart, IN and established in 1942, INOVA Federal Credit Union serves over 42,000 members and various employees from over 500 companies. To extend its ability to serve its ever-growing customer base, the company recently opened a new branch location in nearby Granger. To create the desired look and meet significant challenges related to material availability and color options, the design team turned to Laminators Inc.

INS Bank expanded its reach in Tennessee with the recent opening of another branch in Brentwood, a Nashville suburb. The new location has a strong professional appearance with the addition of VMZINC® Series Panels by Dri-Design. The design team at MJM Architects, Nashville, worked with the owner’s initial design concept for the building.

More than 5,000 linear feet of Flex-C Arch™ and Flex-C Trac® from Flex-Ability Concepts were used to bring to life the unique architectural theory utilized in designing the interior office space for Intech’s headquarters in West Palm Beach, FL. Intech, an institutional money management firm, has taken the top two floors of the new City Place Tower. The 18-story building offers 300,000 sq. ft. of Class A office space. Intech’s 50,000 sq. ft. of space was designed by Jalali Design, Los Angeles.

“God is in the details” is a phrase often attributed to the great modernist architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, and it certainly seems to apply to a recently transformed derelict printing plant into Grand Rapids, Mich.-based Integrated Architecture’s new headquarters. Of particular note is the care installers of the building’s exterior PAC-CLAD metal cladding took in creating the structure’s bespoke corners.

Integrated Medical Systems International (IMS) moved one of its repair facilities into a newly renovated, 55,000 square-foot operations center in Birmingham, AL.

Visitors to the International Quilt Study Center and Museum in Lincoln, NE will immediately notice a different kind of fabric – architectural mesh – draping the expansive windows of the venue and dividing the space within. Cambridge Architectural’s Solucent™ metal mesh interior application is suspended in tension parallel to the museum’s windows inside the building. The mesh shades the sun and eases the light gradually as patrons walk through, while Cambridge’s LandscapeInteriors™ system fashionably divides the interior space. Each Cambridge system employs lustrous woven metal fabric – complementing the building’s theme perfectly.

No one would be surprised to learn that the new Interstate Batteries store in Waco, TX was designed and built using a metal building system. The dark green metal roof, the tan-colored R-panels and even the building’s overall appearance are pretty good clues. What might raise a few eyebrows, however, is that the stone base and stucco-like walls wrapping the front of the building were also off-the-shelf products offered by the project’s metal building manufacturer, Rigid Global Buildings of Houston.

On Chicago’s Northwest Side, Intrinsic Schools’ new 58,000-square-foot Belmont Campus transforms a former lumberyard into a contemporary educational facility.
