The 115,000-square-foot Concourse D at Nashville International Airport opened in July 2020 with six new aircraft gates for domestic travelers. The new terminal has the latest traveler amenities but that's only the half of it. The terminal is also LEED® Silver certified, thanks in part to the use of insulated metal panels from Kingspan Insulated Panels North America for its construction.

Metal building systems offer the flexibility to blend in with virtually any environment, as evidenced in the construction on the Nason Medical Center in North Charleston, South Carolina. This facility was designed with vigilant consideration to four large oak trees that were to remain undisturbed. Metal building systems by Metallic Building Company played a prominent role in the construction.

Opened in 1972, the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum had honored the military sacrifice of local veterans in Long Island’s Nassau County and served as home to the one-time American Basketball Association’s New York Nets and the National Hockey League’s New York Islanders as well as hosted major events and concerts. The facility was extensively renovated and reopened in 2017 with a new look that features aluminum composite material from 3A Composites.

The Natalie L. Haslam Music Center is the newly constructed home of the University of Tennessee School of Music in Knoxville. The facility houses technology-enhanced classrooms, practice rooms, performance studios/academic offices, an organ studio, a recital hall, a music library and much more. CENTRIA products were featured in the facility’s design.

A Cambridge Architectural MeshDefense™ mesh solution defines the boundaries of the exterior dining area for the National Archives Southeast Region in Morrow, GA, complying not only with the building’s contemporary design, but also with National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) security regulations. Although the contents of the building are historical, the design of the new, $22 million, 117,000-square-foot Southeast Regional Archives facility has a forward focus.

The 160,000 square foot laboratory building in Frederick, MD, for the National Biodefense Analysis And Countermeasures Center (NBACC) is distinguished by the fact that it is also the first security compartmented information facility (SCIF) - biocontainment - in the United States. Metal panels from CENTRIA played an important role in the creation of this unique facility.

The design of National Metal Sales’ significant expansion of its headquarters facility in Romulus, Mich., has been described as achieving “a classy look in its industrial setting.” NMS, a full-service sheet metal distribution and fabrication center, selected Petersen Aluminum’s Precision Series Horizontal Wall Panels to get the look it wanted.

The National Museum of American Jewish History’s new $150 million, five-story building is the only museum in the nation dedicated solely to telling the story of American Jewish history. The building contains 25,000 square feet of gallery space on three-and-a-half floors, as well as an Education Center, a 200-seat theatre, a multipurpose event space with the capacity for 600 attendees, a café and a museum store. The museum features architectural metal cladding from CENTRIA.

The National Security Space Institute (NSSI), located at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, Colorado, was recently relocated to the base to accommodate the rise in class sizes and demand for new courses. Products from CENTRIA were used in the construction of the new facility that is used for training and education.

The newest addition to the National World War II Museum in New Orleans, Louisiana includes a 4-D Theater, performance hall, executive offices, a retail store and a restaurant. This is the first of a multi-phase expansion to take place over several years, and it features metal wall panels from CENTRIA. The goal of this phase is to provide a forum to preserve the stories of WWII veterans and showcase their accomplishments to an international audience.

The National World War II Museum tells the story of the American experience in the war that changed the world – why it was fought, how it was won, and what it means today. Dedicated in 2000, the museum recently underwent an extensive, $300 million expansion, which included the construction of a $60 million addition. The addition’s design makes extensive use of metal, including aluminum dovetail grilles from Ohio Gratings Inc. (OGi) of Canton, Ohio. Approximately 9,000 sq. ft. of the company’s grilles were used in various parts of the museum interior, including in the theater lobby.

Measuring a total of 790,827 square feet, the Natural Milk Production, LLP facility in Harlan, IA, utilized more than 1 million sq. ft. of Star Building Systems’ DuraRib Roof and Wall Panels in Shell White color, in addition to Star’s metal building systems. This agricultural complex is made up of seven buildings with four connector buildings. Due to its size and complexity, this project utilized Star pre-engineered metal buildings instead of conventional construction.

The new Naval Hospital Camp Pendleton serves members of the military in a healing and calming environment – from the moment they arrive on the hospital’s campus to the moment they leave. A four-story parking garage, featuring Banker Wire metal fabric railings and partitions, helps establish this calming environment and creates a sense of tranquility for patients.

Dublin Building Systems of Dublin, Ohio utilized products from Varco Pruden Buildings to complete a massive 355,000 sq. ft. distribution center in Urbana, Ohio for Navistar, a leading manufacturer of commercial trucks, buses, defense vehicles and engines.

The Navy Federal Credit Union is in the middle of a growth spurt that is seeing it build an average of 20 new branches every year. Serving all branches of the U.S. armed forces, along with Department of Defense employees and military veterans, the organization had approximately 8 million customers at the end of 2018. A new branch opened in St. Marys, Ga. - featuring aluminum roofing by Petersen - is emblematic of the influence Southern coastal design has had on NFCU’s newer facilities in the region.

Sustainability and employee comfort were at the very top of the list of requirements as officials from the Navy Federal Credit Union began planning for the major expansion of the institution's Pensacola, Florida call center. Among the products featured on the exteriors of two already completed buildings and another one still under construction are flat lock wall panels. They were fabricated by MetalTech-USA from RHEINZINK natural zinc, a product of RHEINZINK America Inc.

Given the building’s environmental mission, it seems only fitting that environmentally friendly products would be utilized for the construction of the new $70 million NCAR – Wyoming Super Computing Center (NWSC) in Cheyenne, WY. Completed in October 2012, the building features on its exterior a range of metal construction products, including Reynobond ACM, fabricated and installed by Commerce City, CO-based Douglass Colony.

The new Nebraska Public Power District Operations Center in Norfolk, NE consolidates four previously separate locations into one highly sustainable, green facility. The 87,000 sq. ft. building has achieved LEED Gold certification. Featured on the building's exterior are 15,000 sq. ft. of Dri-Design rainscreen metal wall panels. Most of the panels were fabricated from zinc while the remainder are aluminum.

The Purdue University engineering program counts 22 NASA astronauts among its graduates, including Neil Armstrong, the namesake of the school's new facility. Constructed as part of the university's strategic plan to remain at the forefront of engineering education, the new Neil Armstrong Hall of Engineering increases the size of the university's engineering complex by 60 percent. The university commissioned RATIO Architects Inc. of Indianapolis, IN to design a building that will continually inspire the next generation of engineers to "reach for the stars." Playing a significant role in turning that design goal into reality was Reynobond® aluminum composite material, from Alcoa Architectural Products.

Nelson Family Farms needed an additional storage facility for its growing fleet of farm equipment, to be built on nearby property. The Nelsons reached out to Dan Larson, owner of Dan Larson Construction in Vincent, Iowa, to put up their new shed, using metal roofing and wall panels from American Building Components.
