Featured Projects

The Islais Creek Motor Coach Maintenance & Operations Facility truly redefined the meaning of a long-term project. The design of the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency’s new facilities was initiated in 1990. Phase I of the project was completed in 2013. Phase II, which features metal roof and wall panels from IMETCO, was completed in 2018.

PPG and AEP Span have partnered to protect and enhance Issaquah Middle School in Issaquah, Washington, with metal wall panels using Duranar® GR (graffiti-resistant) clear coating. It is the first school in the country to use the new coating, which features a proprietary formulation that PPG developed to combat a problem that costs U.S. building owners an estimated $25 billion per year.

All discussions during the design phase of Innovation Hall at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis focused on constructing a facility that would host the most modern technological class offerings. Fittingly, a significant portion of the building’s façade consists of larson® aluminum composite material (ACM) from Alucoil.

Ivy Street Center is the first new academic building on the Marist School campus in Brookhaven, Ga., in more than 20 years, and is the signature project in Phase 1 of the Campus Master Plan. The new facility, designed with an emphasis on sustainability, features roofing and wall panels from Petersen.

In 2015, the Kokomo campus of Indiana’s community college system, Ivy Tech Community College, was faced with needed repair of aging metal roofs on buildings constructed in the late 1970s and 1980s. Three Kokomo campus roofs that covered 83,042 square feet were reroofed using structural factory-notched sub-purlins from Roof Hugger of Lutz, FL.

The J Hotel in Dunedin, Florida, is redefining the standards of coastal design with its new roof project featuring COASTALUME™, an innovative roofing system combining the strength of U.S. Steel GALVALUME™ with the corrosion and fade performance of DuPont™ Tedlar® PVF film. Spanning an impressive 45,000 square feet, this new build exemplifies a commitment to longevity and aesthetic appeal.

Metal building systems from Varco Pruden Buildings, a division of BlueScope Buildings North America, Inc., were used to create the J.A. Riggs Caterpillar service center facility in Little Rock, Arkansas. Varco Pruden Buildings’ Continuous Beam framing was utilized on this project that was completed in March 2009. Building sizes were 52,622 sq. ft. and 30,163 sq. ft.

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.
