Featured Projects

Kansas State University’s satellite campus in Salina, KS is located on the site of the former Schilling Air Force Base. A focal point of the campus is the new Student Life Recreation Center. The 34,000 sq. ft. facility includes a roof form that takes its design cues from an airplane wing. The roof's deep overhangs, as well as other elements of the building, are wrapped with metal composite panels from Citadel Architectural Products.

Fuog/InterBuild Inc. is no stranger to winning National Frame Building Association awards. During the past two decades, the Purcellville, VA construction company has garnered four NFBA Building of the Year awards while finishing second or third in the judging numerous other times. In 2017 the firm once again claimed the post frame association's top project honor and this time it did it with the help of a Designer hydraulic door from Schweiss Doors.

Uginox Patina K44 Terne Coated Stainless Steel by Aperam is highly corrosion resistant and covered by a 20-year warranty. It can be used in challenging environments as seen on this residential project in the La Jolla community of San Diego, California that was designed by Wallace E. Cunningham Inc., a firm well known for creating unique architecture since 1979.

Sustainability with the anticipation of growth was the reason behind the newly-constructed La Joya ISD Child Nutrition Center and Police Station in La Joya, Texas. Insulated metal panels from MBCI are featured on the new complex.

Met-Tile roofing has long been touted for its extreme wind upload resistance. In September 2008 the product faced a real-world test of its abilities when Hurricane Ike slammed the Texas coastline at Galveston. The storm was rated the third most destructive hurricane ever to make landfall in the U.S. One of the Met-Tile projects in the storm’s path was a La Quinta Inn & Suites hotel. And though the building did sustain some damage to its stucco walls, the 24,000 sq. ft. of Met-Tile roofing survived intact, protecting the structure in the face of punishing winds and driving rain.

The giant new Labatt Food Service distribution center in Houston, TX utilizes approximately 140,000 sq. ft. of Metl-Span insulated panels in three different panel types. The $14 million project features 148,000 sq. ft. of space including a two-story office and storage areas for dry goods, perishables and frozen foods on a 21 acre site. Design/build services were provided by TEAM Group, Ltd., Euless, TX, specialists in the construction of food facilities.

The recently completed Lady Bird Johnson Middle School in Irving, Texas holds the distinction of being the largest net zero public school in the country, the first net zero middle school in the country and the first net zero public school in Texas. Helping the building attain its status was 72,000 square feet of Fabral products, including wall panels, flashing and trim.

The retrofit of Lafayette College’s Bushkill Commons is an example of adaptive building reuse, utilizing sustainable design, products, and energy efficiency. ATAS International's Isoleren insulated metal wall panels were incorporated into the building to help achieve those objectives. Completed in June 2017, the building was nominated for a Lehigh Valley Sustainability Award by the Lehigh Valley branch of the Delaware Valley Green Building Council.

Metal Sales Manufacturing Corporation, a premier nationwide provider of metal panels for the building and construction industry, covered the new Lafayette Library and Learning Center in Lafayette, CA with 31,000 square feet of vibrant and durable roofing panels. The Vertical Seam 24 gauge panels, coated in a cool Mistique Plus color, provide a complementary design aesthetic as well as sustainable functionality. The project team consisted of Killefer Flammang Architects, Santa Monica, CA, and installer PetersenDean, Newark, CA.

In 2012, the Lafayette Regional Airport underwent a retrofit reroof and energy upgrade on their 114 Borman aircraft hangar building, with the help of retrofit framing from Roof Hugger topped with standing seam metal roofing from McElroy Metal. The Lafayette, LA project was unusual due to it being a reroof of an existing barreled metal roof; this required the new metal roof panels to be jobsite curved.

In an industry often vilified for expanding man’s carbon footprint, one Michigan auto dealer has raised the bar for environmental consciousness by building the nation’s first LEED® Gold-certified auto dealership. The 63,000 sq. ft. LaFontaine Buick Pontiac GMC Cadillac dealership in Highland, MI, which opened in July 2008, received its LEED Gold certification in February by scoring 45 out of 46 possible points. Products utilized for the building's construction included more than 50,000 sq. ft. of Reynobond® aluminum composite material panels. Reynobond is a product of Alcoa Architectural Products.

Despite being the smallest of the New York metropolitan area airports, LaGuardia Airport is one of the busiest airports in the country because of its close proximity to Manhattan. Helping air traffic controllers more effectively manage the number of flights arriving and departing from the airport on a daily basis was the objective behind the replacement of the airport's old traffic control tower with one much higher. Wrapping the exterior of the new tower are aluminum composite panels manufactured from Reynobond ® material by Alcoa Architectural Products.

The new Lake Belton High School in Temple, Texas, features an exterior design that mixes traditional and contemporary materials – and which mirrors the forward-thinking educational programs happening within its walls. Metal wall panels, supplied by Petersen in two different profiles, are key elements of the design.

Architecture firm Booth Hansen designed a private retreat on the forested shores of Lake Huron in Ontario. The owners sought to maximize the views and access to outdoors, while remaining good stewards of the land. The 7-acre setting hosts a cluster of standalone "cabins" connected by weathertight walkways. Cladding those cabins is zinc, manufactured by RHEINZINK America and supplied by Sheet Metal Supply Ltd. of Grayslake, IL.

The design for a stunning retreat house on Lake LBJ in Marble Falls, TX was inspired by the site’s previous life as a fish camp as well as the expansive views, wind patterns and the generous tree canopy. The 3,000 square foot vacation home is situated at the heart of a small peninsula that projects into the lake. Durability and low maintenance were important requirements for materials chosen for the home’s construction, including the 3,100 sq. ft. of RHEINZINK® Graphite Gray Corrugated Sinusoidal Panels.

A study completed in 2001 determined the Lake Mills Fire Station in Lake Mills, WI, was in generally poor condition and too small for today’s large fire trucks. So rather than pouring money into the old building, officials there decided instead to demolish it and build something new. Strand Associates of Madison, WI, was charged with designing a new facility to replaced the outdated Lake Mills Fire Station. For the project it used a metal building system by Foremost Buildings Inc. of Jefferson, WI, and a metal building insulation system from Thermal Design.

Jeff Ryan proclaims himself the envy of the lake. He says it's because of the remote-controlled Schweiss "Red Power" Hydraulic door he installed on his new boathouse. Perhaps it has something to do too with the pleasure craft he keeps inside: a beautifully maintained 1955 Chris Craft Continental.

A church in Dundee, Ohio is now covered with a new metal roof formed from steel by Coated Metals Group (CMG) after its old, deteriorating shingle roof was on the verge of causing structural damage to the building.

Brian Lamb has grown corn, soybeans and sweetcorn on 2,000 acres of Renville County, MN, farmland since 1981. He feels fortunate to have what he called a “world class” door manufacturer near his backyard and stresses the importance of doing business locally with an experienced builder to put up his machine shed and farm shop. Lamb was referring to Schweiss Doors and Country Wide Lumber, both of which have Hector, MN, addresses.

The University of Guelph in Guelph, Ontario celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, and the administration initiated several construction projects to get the campus in shape for the milestone. From a new entryway at one end of campus to a major residence makeover at the other, buildings have been upgraded, grounds and infrastructure improved. Among the products helping to give the residence hall a contemporary, industrial look is woven wire mesh from W.S. Tyler.
