The Arundel Mills Mall in Hanover, MD, is one of the largest malls on the East Coast and a leading tourist attraction. In 2010, residents voted to enhance the Arundel Mills Commercial District’s 3 million sq. ft. of retail and entertainment space with a casino. Ground was broken in January 2011, with the doors to the Maryland Live! Casino - clad in Alcoa Architectural Products’ Reynobond® Aluminum Composite Material (ACM) and products from Kawneer - opened 17 months later.

The new Maryland Public Health Laboratories Administration Building was part of the 235,000 square foot, five-level renovation project of a 40-year-old building in east Baltimore. The state-of-the-art laboratory facility, utilizing architectural metal products from CENTRIA, houses critical testing materials and equipment and annually conducts more than 10 million tests.

Designed, fabricated, and installed by a student team at Virginia Tech, the Masonic Amphitheater in Clifton Forge, VA, provides a public park and performance space for the rural Appalachian community. Among the products used for the structure’s construction were ALPOLIC composite panels from Mitsubishi Plastics Composites America.

The practical goal of the new $61-million 21-story Student Residence Hall at Massachusetts College of Art and Design (MassArt) in Boston may have been to provide 145,600 square feet of on-campus accommodations for 493 students for its opening in the fall of 2012. But the unique design of the new Residence Hall - which is clad in 5,500 Alucobond® Plus aluminum composite panels - has met an aesthetic goal to set the building apart on the Boston skyline.

Mathews Harley-Davidson has been located in Fresno, California since 1961, passing the sales and service tradition of the iconic motorcycles through generations of the family. The plan is to continue that tradition into the future with the recent construction of a new 11,615 sq. ft. showroom facility – utilizing metal products from Metallic Building Company - which was completed in July 2012.

Sometimes in roofing, it's okay to just roll with it. In Garland representative Jason Moronnolte’s case, field roll-forming steel panels on site was the perfect solution to conquer the tight barrel curved roof on the Matilija Junior High School Gymnasium in Ojai, California.

Originally built in the 1960’s, the exterior envelope of Mattahunt Elementary School in Boston was failing. In considering repairs, the Boston Public Facilities Department sought a new, long-term, high-performance, cost-effective building envelope that would express the education aspirations of the school. The solution was found with a new Dri-Design Rainscreen Metal Cladding System.

The Mattos House in Fort Myers, Florida, represents the new standard in energy efficient, environmentally friendly design. Constructed with structural insulated panels (SIPS) and topped with jobsite rollformed metal roofing, the house is also strong enough to withstand hurricane-force winds. The roofing was fabricated and installed by Crowther Roofing and Sheet Metal of Florida, Inc., a Sentrigard™ Metal Roofing Systems Certified Contractor. The rollformer it used was a Schlebach Quadro and the roofing material was Sentriclad™. Both are distributed by N.B. Handy under the umbrella of its Sentrigard™ Metal Roofing Systems program.

For most businesses, success spurs growth. The Maui Brewing Company is no exception. To meet the surging demand for its locally brewed craft beers, the award-winning company recently expanded into a newly constructed 42,000 square foot facility in Kihei, HI. Utilized for the building's construction were insulated metal panel systems from Kingspan Insulated Panels.

The new Max Planck Florida Institute For Neuroscience is a postmodern, glass-and-metal laboratory and office building with amenities designed to attract world-class scientists and to support sensitive, advanced diagnostics. To create the aesthetic desired, and to meet the Florida Building Code (FBC) and Miami-Dade County Hurricane Building Code requirements, the project’s architects specified Reynobond® with Kevlar® and traditional Reynobond Aluminum Composite Material (ACM).

Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta, Georgia is the world’s busiest, hosting more than 90 million travelers per year. When it came to designing the new Maynard H. Jackson Jr. International Terminal, planners wanted to give passengers a pleasant respite from the stresses of air travel, while also functioning as a wayfinding system that helped people navigate its 1.2 million sq. ft. of space. Coatings from PPG are displayed prominently in the new terminal.

The new McAllen, Texas, Public Library - which opened on the site of a vacant Walmart - was envisioned by city officials to include environmentally friendly features. From the perspective of Boultinghouse Simpson Gates Architects in McAllen, no design could be more environmentally conscious than adaptively reusing the former “big box” retail store. Alucobond® aluminum composite material by 3A Composites USA played a key role in the design.

Described as “a work of art”, the new McCallum Arts Center building in Austin, TX presents a dramatic environment in which students from across the Austin Independent School District pursue an accelerated, comprehensive arts curriculum offered by the McCallum Fine Arts Academy. Featured prominently on the facility are metal panels by Petersen Aluminum.

McCown Gordon Construction, a general contractor in Kansas City, MO, recently moved out of a 1919 downtown building that it had called home since it renovated the space in 2005. The company’s new headquarters is a renovated Catholic Charities structure that had been vacant. The design transformed the building into an open and modern headquarters with a façade to match, enhanced by Anodized Aluminum Dri-Design wall panels.

The harsh landscape of Canada’s Northwest Territories is incorporated to great effect in the striking McDonald Drive Condominium project in Yellowknife. The building’s curved, stacked form and perching foundations align directly with its site, an historic, massive outcropping of bedrock overlooking the town and nearby lake. Highlighting the design for the eight-structure is an unusual installation application of RHEINZINK. Approximately 13,000 sq. ft. of 0.8mm/22 gauge RHEINZINK Pre-weathered Blue-Gray material was used to clad the building.

Set on a 90-acre woodland overlooking the Tennessee River, McDonough House is the first new structure in more than 30 years built at Loghaven Artist Residency in Knoxville, Tennessee. Reflecting the evolving landscape and the original cabins' historical style, the McDonough House features RHEINZINK-prePATINA® graphite-grey zinc material. The material is a product of RHEINZINK America Inc., Woburn, MA.

When Bossier, LA-based McElroy Metal added 1,960 solar panels to the standing seam roof of its Peachtree City, GA manufacturing facility, it used penetration-free S-5! clamps to attach them. When the company decided to add a similar—but slightly smaller—solar array to the roof of its plant in Adelanto, CA, it again turned to S-5!

S-5!, one of the metal construction industry's leading authorities on metal roof attachment solutions, recently participated in a complex solar conversion project at a manufacturing facility in Clinton, Illinois for McElroy Metal, another of the industry's most recognized names.

It’s one thing to talk about the benefits of your metal roofing products and how those products can serve as a host for photovoltaic panels. It’s quite another thing to re-roof your manufacturing facility with your panels and add photovoltaic panels. But that's precisely what McElroy Metal did at its Peachtree City plant.

Because you can never save too much, McElroy Metal has added solar panels to a second manufacturing facility–this one in Adelanto, CA–that will more than offset the plant’s electrical usage and show a return on investment in approximately three years.
