The 40-year-old One Hundred Oaks Mall in Nashville has undergone a major transformation to become a significant mixed-use development with the major tenant being Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

The system's 40,000 sq. ft. of panels were formed from .080" aluminum and feature a Dove Gray paint finish. The exterior façade of the 880,000 sq. ft. mall was originally brick, precast and EIFS.

The founding of the Opus One winery in California's Napa Valley in 1979 brought together two of the top names in winemaking, one from the Old World wine establishment in Europe and one from the New World winemaking industry in the United States.

Fortunately, the bifold and hydraulic doors specified for the state-of-the-art facility satisfied both desires. They were manufactured by Schweiss Doors of Hector, MN.

Consistency, along with a high-end, appealing look, were factors in the choice of metal composite material from Citadel Architectural Products for the face of the Orange Park (Fla.) Subaru showroom and dealership.
