The RHEINZINK-clad dome atop the new Mormon Temple in Tucson marks a unique feature in the design of the religion’s temples throughout the United States. “Domes are rare on temples,” said Mandy Martineau, church member and project manager with FFKR Architects, Salt Lake City. “The dome has really captured the attention of the city and church members alike.”

Originally built in 1917, the Morristown and Morris Township (NJ) Library has been expanded several times. This most recent expansion, known as the “New Edition”, was an $8 million project that includes construction of a three-level, 15,000 sq. ft. addition and extensive restructuring of other parts of the library. The project, a 2007 AIA Merit Award winner, was designed by Holt•Morgan•Russell Architects, Princeton, NJ. Approximately 4,200 sq. ft. of RHEINZINK® standing seam panels and custom diamond shaped tiles contributed to HMR’s design solution.

Johnson C. Smith University (JCSU) of Charlotte, NC, needed a new dormitory to increase its student housing, and the historic West End district of Charlotte was in need of revitalization. With Mosaic Village–which features insulated metal wall panels from Kingspan Insulated Metal Panels Inc., and single-element metal wall panels from Morin-A Kingspan Group Company on its exterior–both goals were met.

The new Moser School for fourth and fifth grade students is a 79,000 square foot building which opened in September of 2019 in Rocky Hill, CT. ATAS International’s Linear Ceiling panel in a custom wood grain pattern, featuring a high-performance 70% PVDF paint finish, was used for the project.

Just like the original owner of the building one hundred years earlier, the owner of the Mosinee Brewing Company had a vision for what her building could be – a craft brewery, taproom, outdoor beer garden and event space – and how it could help revive her local community. With the help of products from Star Building Systems, that vision has come to life.

Metal Building Company (MBC), an authorized American Buildings Company (ABC) Builder, built a residence for the Mossman-Nguyen family, diverging from their conventional metal building structures. In five months, MBC and the general contractor, KS Design Build, combined the traditional pre-engineered design with custom residential features.

The Mother Arnetta Crawford Housing project in Bronx, NY, would have an entirely different look if it followed the original plans for a brick and block structure. Research brought the construction team to a new material and appearance via Dri-Design wall panels.

The glory days of the U.S. auto industry — from tailfins to muscle cars — provided the design inspiration for Detroit, Michigan's new $300 million Motor City Casino.

Located in Bloomington, MN, the new home of Motorwerks BMW & Mini is a two-story, state-of-the-art showroom and service center with an attached four-story enclosed lot. It was designed by Phillips Architects & Contractors of Minneapolis to reflect the sophistication of the automobiles on display. To that end, the 200,000 sq. ft. building is clad predominantly with Alcoa Architectural Products' Reynobond aluminum composite metal wall panels. The material use was carried over to the interior spaces as well.

Walk inside the Gateway Center of Mount Helena Community Church in Helena, MT, and you would never imagine the combination community event center and church sanctuary is a converted warehouse.

The project architect found the answer in the HIGH-R Insulation System.

Mount Union College’s Peterson Field House is now generating its own electricity, thanks to Sheffield Metals International (SMI).

The walls are Varco Pruden’s Panel Rib profile.

To attract and retain high-tech tenants at the Mountain View Corporate Center, the development's new owners updated three concrete buildings to include attractive modern metal facades. The 23,000 sq. ft. of Copper Anodize aluminum wall panels utilized on the project were fabricated at the Fontana, CA plant of Morin Corporation, anodized by Wausau, WI-based Linetec and then shipped directly to the job site for installation by Sheet Metal Systems (SMS) of Hollister, CA.

The new Moving Everest Charter School, located in the Austin neighborhood on the Far West Side of Chicago, utilizes a unique model that accommodates both the new charter school as well as a provider of after-school programs. The new building’s vivid architecture signifies progress and innovation in the underserved neighborhood. More than 16,000 sq. ft. of PAC-CLAD 7/8-in. Corrugated panels by Petersen, finished in Charcoal, dramatically clad the exterior of the 53,000-sq.-ft. structure.

Michigan State University (MSU) opens the doors to its new Bio Engineering Facility and to new, collaborative research opportunities contributing toward technology transfer to the private sector and the state’s emerging bio-based economy. The four-story, 130,000-square-foot research laboratory building is located in the South Academic District in East Lansing.

Andrew and Carri Ann Mueller of Palmer, Alaska, live in a pilot’s dream home.
