Taking advantage of the color and profile options provided by McElroy Metal, architects for the Pickens County (South Carolina) YMCA were able to provide an innovative and attractive aesthetic to the new building on campus, but still make it fit in with surrounding structures.

Located in Pickering, Ontario, the Pickering Town Centre was renovated in 2009 and re-imaged using a unifying “leaf motif”. Featured at the six entrances of the shopping center, as well as on the interior elevator, ALPOLIC ACM panels were chosen to highlight the new additions.

Located in New York City’s South Street Seaport, Pier 17 anchors an extensive redevelopment project that is focused on transforming the historic Lower Manhattan neighborhood into a thriving cultural, retail and entertainment center. Yet, for PPG and Spectrum Metal Finishing, the project is serving a secondary purpose: as the proving ground for New York City’s first application of PPG Duranar® powder coatings in a challenging marine environment.

Convenience stores often become neighborhood meeting places, so it’s important to the owner to have an attractive and low-maintenance facility. The new and busy Pik-A-Pop in Othello, WA, is just that. It was constructed with framing from Star Building Systems and insulated metal panels (IMPs) from Metl-Span.

The Pike/Pine sub-neighborhood is part of Seattle’s historic Auto Row. Located within the Capital Hill residential district, the area is said to have some of the city’s most interesting and unique buildings.

They were custom fabricated by Schweiss Doors of Fairfax, MN, for the courtyard entrances to the newly completed Pike Motorworks luxury apartment complex.

Standing at 14,115 feet above sea level, Pikes Peak is home to majestic views, a National Historic Landmark, more than a half a million visitors per year, and for the past three years, the highest ongoing construction site in North America.

The recently completed Pine Island Academy in Florida's St. John's County is a K-8 school that features PAC-CLAD metal roof panels from Petersen to highlight entrances, interior stairwells and light wells. It illustrates how such decorative touches can help the district’s schools develop their own characters, even if they’re all built to similar plans.

A dilapidated 1960’s era gymnasium was masterfully transformed into a modern and inspirational worship and education center at Pine Rest Christian Mental Health Services’ facility in Cutlerville, MI. The new 15,500 sq. ft. Postma Center has become the centerpiece of the 220-acre campus. While a significant portion of the existing structure was re-used, only a shadow of the former image remains. The project features a variety of products from Petersen Aluminum.

Seeing the impressive nature and beauty of his nearly-complete 10,000 square foot hillside home in West Vancouver, British Columbia, an undeterred homeowner decided to recreate the design after the original structure was tragically destroyed by fire. Like the original, the re-build features approximately 2,000 sq. ft. of RHEINZINK 0.7mm/24 gauge Double Lock Standing Seam roof panels and 2,000 sq. ft. of RHEINZINK 0.8mm/22 gauge S-Lock wall panels. Both systems were finished in Preweathered Pro Blue Gray. They were installed by TV Metals, Coquitlam, British Columbia. Michel Coutya of Vancouver designed the home.

The integration of products from Metl-Span and Metallic Building Company culminated in a successful project on all fronts as the new Pingree School Athletics Facility in South Hamilton, MA is both energy-efficient and aesthetically pleasing. And better yet, thanks to the use of those products, construction of the building was efficient and cost effective.

Due to the growing student population in the Piper Unified School District No. 203, Piper High School in Kansas City, KS, recently underwent a large-scale renovation and addition. DLR Group’s design solution incorporates sunshading, daylighting, graphic design and space-utilization to create a unique, 21st century learning environment.

Pitt-Ohio, a leader in the trucking industry, significantly invested in a new 95,765 sq. ft. facility that received Gold LEED status.

For a city the size of Plainfield, Indiana (population 27,000), the Plainfield Public Safety Facilities project was an ambitious undertaking. Announced in 2016, the $25 million project called for the construction of a new headquarters and two new stations for the Plainfield Fire Territory, and the renovation or re-purposing of four other buildings used by the city's public safety forces. As designed by CR Architecture + Design of Cincinnati, the new fire territory buildings feature metal composite wall panels from Laminators Inc. of Hatfield, PA on their exterior.

The Plainfield Fire Territory in Hendricks County, Indiana responds to more than 4,400 calls annually. To provide better response throughout the Territory’s 45-square-mile service area, the agency recently constructed Fire Station 123. The 23,000 square foot facility is both functional and attractive, with an exterior design that utilizes three styles of insulated metal panel systems from Metl-Span.

An innovative Landscape Interior metal fabric solution from Cambridge Architectural of Cambridge, MD, dramatically defines and separates space within the Theatre for the Performing Arts at the new Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, NV. The newly renovated theater, formerly the Aladdin Center for the Performing Arts, is designed to house Broadway-style shows for extended runs. Cambridge Architectural’s innovative mesh application provides “house reduction” in order to produce more intimate seating for smaller crowds. Retractable panels of metal fabric allow larger areas of the theatre to be reconfigured to suit the space requirements of an event.

Superstorm Sandy barreled up the East Coast in 2012, causing record amounts of damage and destruction while becoming the largest Atlantic hurricane on record.

Inc. played a key role in the restoration of the historic Rye, New York facility.

The Plymouth State University Ice Arena in Plymouth, New Hampshire includes a 4,000 sq. ft. welcome center component and stands as the “front door” to the expanding campus.

Triangle Park is a calm oasis among the hustle and bustle of Downtown Pittsburgh, PA. It features handsome benches under a stainless steel canopy to provide shade and protection from rain and snow.
