Ronstan Tensile Architecture, an end-to-end specialty contractor of tensile architecture, provided its architectural rod systems to the San Diego Yacht Club’s new Malin Burnham Sailing Center in San Diego, CA.

The Mammel Hall College of Business Administration building is a significant source of pride at the University of Nebraska-Omaha, and not just because it’s the first building on campus to earn LEED® Gold Certification.

The Margrethekirken is one of the most famous modern church buildings in all of Denmark. Located in the city of Aalborg and completed in the 1970s, this architecturally impressive place of worship was designed by Ole Knudsen, MAA of Knudsen & Ostergaard a/s of Denmark. Through the years, due primarily to the type of insulation/moisture sealant used, mold developed on the church's roof beams and eventually led to rot. With the entire structure threatened, church officials authorized a $1.6 million renovation project that included re-cladding the signature steeple with Reynobond® aluminum composite material.

The project is purported to be one of the first large-scale residential buildings in the United States with a facade of corrugated aluminum.

When the project team started planning the Bachelor Enlisted Quarters (BEQ) at the Marine Corps Base Hawaii in Kaneohe, Hawaii, they sought a design that would complement existing buildings on the Base while combining aesthetics with construction economies. A Met-Tile aluminum “tile panel” roofing system from McElroy Metal provided a similar look to the existing clay and concrete tile roofs at a significantly lighter weight, while also delivering the many performance benefits associated with metal roofing.

The Marine Gateway mixed-use development opened in the spring of 2016 in south Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, as the first major transit-oriented development integrated into Vancouver’s Canada Line rapid transit rail system.
