The Mississippi Center for Emergency Services on the campus of the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson grew out of lessons learned from 2005's Hurricane Katrina. A new headquarters brings together multiple functions in a building that uses metal wall and roof panels from Petersen in multiple profiles to create visual interest in a budget-friendly design.

The new St. Joseph service center for Missouri Gas Energy was designed to optimize energy efficiency, resulting in the project’s submission for LEED Gold certification.

The renovation of Mitchell Elementary in Dallas resulted in 42 classrooms, a gymnasium, cafeteria, kitchen and library. Metal roofing from MBCI is featured on the elementary school, which is a part of the Plano Independent School District and serves nearly 700 students.

For a four-building renovation project, 11,800 sq. ft. of new metal wall panels may not seem like a lot. But without question, the visual impact of the inclusion of Laminators' Omega-Lite panels on the exterior of the Moda Sorrento complex in San Diego, CA was significant.

Located at the edge of an expanding community, the new Modesto Commerce Bank, a branch of the Bank of Stockton, is a modern facility for a banking institution that is rooted in the history and landscape of California’s Central Valley. Playing a prominent role in the bank’s design are standing seam metal roofing — incorporating photovoltaics — and walls panels from Metal Sales Manufacturing Corp., as well as exposed structural steel tubing by Amerifab.

Condo units range in size from 895 sq. ft. to 5,380 sq. ft. for a penthouse. The designer of the $64 million project was Davis Partnership Architects, Denver.

A first-of-its-kind architectural mesh movable gate system delivers security, operational flexibility and a clean aesthetic inside the U.S. Customs area at Montreal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport in Dorval, Quebec, Canada. The new security gate is part of the airport's transborder terminal renovation project, which has expanded, modernized and made the terminal more user-friendly. The innovative security partitions provided by Cambridge Architectural quickly became one of the more impressive components of the overall renovation project.

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.

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. Among the products used to create the desired image was Reynobond® ACM from Alcoa Architectural Products. The project features more than 125,000 sq. ft. of the ACM panels.

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.
