Southern Nazarene University in Bethany, Oklahoma built a new science lab, the J.D. & Mary West Science Laboratory, featuring interesting design elements created with the help of curved framing products from Flex-Ability Concepts. The new science lab is 25,891 square feet and contains five biology labs, three chemistry labs, two research labs, office spaces, and a greenhouse.

The renovation of the historic building at 888 16th St. NW in the nation’s capital included a complete transformation of the façade, down to the precast structural members. The new façade is comprised of Portuguese limestone, granite, curtain wall and larson by Alucoil metal composite panels.

Farmington, Connecticut is stepping into the future of medical research with the newly completed Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine. It is hoped the facility will become a catalyst for attracting internationally renowned scientists to the state. To ensure it makes a good first impression, the project's architects incorporated MetalTech-USA Zinc Panels into its design. The panels were fabricated from material provided by RHEINZINK America Inc.

No one wants to hear the word “fail” except when it presents a prospect for change. Jackson Rancheria Casino Resort’s Hotel in Jackson, CA, had a failing Exterior Insulation and Finish System (EIFS) on its façade and seized the opportunity for a design and functionality revamp. The best cladding replacement option was Dri-Design wall panels for their appearance, performance, fire resistance and weatherability.

As the result of funding from federal, state and city governments, along with American Recovery Act assistance, the City of Jackson, Tennessee recently constructed a new transit facility through the assistance of a general contractor - Hoyt Hayes Construction - working exclusively with American-made products. It only seems appropriate that those products were supplied by American Buildings Company (ABC), a Nucor company and leading manufacturer of high-quality metal building systems.

The Jacksonville International Airport planned a major terminal expansion project to provide for the needs of its airlines, staff and passengers. The execution of this long-term project is divided into multiple phases. Stage 3, the concourse replacement phase, focused on reconstructing the 40-year old Concourses A and C to increase functionality and design. In this portion of the project, North Concourse A, architectural metal products from CENTRIA are prominently featured.

The future of transportation has arrived in Jacksonville, Florida. Regional shuttles, bus lines, taxis and rideshares all share a brand-new hub in the heart of the city. The Jacksonville Regional Transportation Center (JRTC) is forward-thinking in its design and features on its exterior insulated metal wall panels from Kingspan.

One of the nation’s premier convention facilities, the Jacob K. Javits Center is located at 34th Street and 11th Avenue, on the west side of Manhattan. Completed in 1986, the Javits Center has hosted thousands of trade shows, conferences and special events, including many of the top 200 tradeshows. However, the facility hadn’t been expanded or renovated in 25 years, and it was in dire need of more space. Aiding in that revitalization were custom-designed metal building systems from Ceco Building Systems.

Few cities appreciate an encore performance more than New York, so it was an honor when PPG Duranar® coatings were selected to reprise their role as the metal coating of choice for the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in Manhattan.

An Overly Mfg. Batten B roof system, formed from stainless steel featuring Contrarian Metal Resources' InvariMatte finish, was selected to top the new Jamaica AirTrain JFK Terminal, a $350 million multimodal transfer point that links the new light rail system from JFK International Airport to the Long Island Rail Road, New York City Transit subway lines, and ground transportation centers.

When the new James M. Bennett High School was constructed in Salisbury, Maryland, it was designed to meet the current needs of a growing student population. At the same time, the selection of standing seam metal roofing from The Garland Company Inc. reflects the school district’s focus on sustainability that will carry on into the future.

With nearly 20,000 patients annually, the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine’s New Bolton Center in Kennett Square, PA, ranks as one of the busiest large animal teaching veterinary clinics in the nation. And medically speaking, the facility is also regarded as one of the country’s best...and getting better thanks to the recent construction of the new James M. Moran, Jr. Critical Care Center. The 18,540 sq. ft., 24-stall biosecure facility is topped with metal roofing manufactured from 24-gauge COOLR® steel coil supplied by Sheffield Metals International Inc.

The James R. Herman Cruise Terminal at Pier 27 is named in honor of a former port commissioner and president of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union. Featuring architectural metal products from CENTRIA, the new terminal at the Port of San Francisco is point of entry for many of the cruise lines that come to port. The space can also accommodate special events and functions.

The exterior of Jamie Oliver’s first independent restaurant in the Canary Wharf area of central London, England, has been completed with a stylish agenda-setting exterior courtesy of cladding specialist James & Taylor. Jamie’s Italian is the blueprint for what the celebrity chef hopes will be a chain up and down the country. James & Taylor’s Senses Aluminium (aluminum) cladding, chosen after consultation with architects Adamson Associates, has been set out around the restaurant’s bold curving frontage.

When JB Autosports Inc. needed a new headquarters, the company turned to NCI Building Systems Inc. for a comprehensive metal enclosure system that offers the best in aesthetics, performance and value. Integral to the solution was insulated metal panel systems from Metl-Span.

The new $13 million JD Ross Maintenance Headquarters facility in Vancouver, WA, is nothing, if not energy efficient. Utilized as the Bonneville Power Administration’s (BPA) Southwest Washington base for transmission line for substation maintenance crews, substation operators, control technicians and support engineers, the building is 'Net Zero' in terms of energy use. Fitting with that goal, the building's architect equipped the structure with bifold doors from Schweiss Doors.

Jefferson Elementary School in Richland, WA, is a prototype school with its own flair to grab people’s attention on a busy street corner. The pop of color expressing the school’s pride is from Citadel Architectural Products' Envelope 2000® metal composite material (MCM) Rainscreen (RS) and Reveal (RV) systems.

The ease with which Citadel panels can be installed was clearly demonstrated on the new Jehovah’s Witnesses Assembly Hall in Colorado. Construction of the 50,000 sq. ft. facility relied on trained volunteers to install 24,000 sq. ft. of Citadel’s Envelope 2000® Rain Screen (RS) metal composite material panel system.

The beautiful new 128,000 sq. ft. Jekyll Island Convention Center is the only beachfront meeting facility of its kind on the east coast south of New Jersey. Featuring 78,000 sq. ft. of meeting space, the center is literally located among the sand dunes. Petersen Aluminum’s PAC-CLAD roof and soffit panels are featured on the project.

The latest addition to Jekyll Island Club Resorts is the Jekyll Island Ocean Suites, a boutique oceanfront hotel in Georgia. The venue is associated with the nearby historic and famed Jekyll Island Club which was founded in 1886 and catered to the nation’s wealthiest families. With its oceanfront site, the use of aluminum for the roof was the only choice to stand up to the harsh saltwater environment. Approximately 20,000 sq. ft. of Petersen’s Snap-Clad panels were installed.
