At the exclusive Lovett School in Atlanta, sustainability has become a part of the curriculum for all students. And what better place for students to learn such important lessons than in a newly opened LEED Silver school building. The new Portman Family Middle School incorporates a number of sustainable features. The building's exterior is a blend of brick, glass and ALPOLIC aluminum composite metal wall panels. ALPOLIC ACM is manufactured by Mitsubishi Plastics Composites America Inc. The material was fabricated into panels by Altech Panel Systems.

How does an architect know it is selecting the best product for the job? In the case of the Pound Ridge House in Pound Ridge, NY, Kieran Timberlake of Philadelphia went above and beyond, placing material samples at the chosen home site and then waiting. It was the results after one year that led the firm to specify stainless steels from Contrarian Metal Resources for the unique home's construction.

Long Island City’s newest luxury condominium has been a local landmark for the past 100 years. The Powerhouse Condominiums, which welcomed its first residents in August 2008, gives new life to the old Penn Station powerhouse, which once provided electricity for the trains stopping in New York’s Penn Station. The architect’s transformation of the old property’s image was assisted by the specification of Reynobond aluminum composite material panels. The lightweight material was manufactured by Alcoa Architectural Products and fabricated into panels by the Riverside Group.

Creating a positive experience for customers is any business owner’s goal. Prairie Meadows Racetrack and Casino in Altoona, Iowa opened in 1995 to large crowds and excited gamblers. But with dwindling customers and revenue, the gaming commission approved a multi-phased renovation in an effort to enhance the gaming experience and attract business. Dri-Design contributed to the new contemporary look and architectural finishes of the casino with the interior installation of Shadow Series Panels.

PrairieCare Medical Group opened its 10th facility in Rochester, Minnesota in late 2019. A primary design emphasis was on providing plentiful natural daylight, which is made evident from the front façade’s extensive glazing. To frame the glazing and add some calming counterpoint to that elevation’s pattern and color, designers opted for neutral-toned metal flush and relief wall panels from Petersen.

In January 2012, work was completed on a much-needed upgrade to Canada’s Prescott Border Crossing into the United States. The renovations will help the facility, which was originally constructed in 1960, better meet the needs of the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). To help match the facility’s aesthetics with its new modernity, the architectural firm in charge of the project, Farrow Architects Inc. of Ottawa, Ontario, turned to ALPOLIC aluminum composite material.

The Prince Frederick Volunteer Fire Department has been a significant part of life in Prince Frederick, Md., for more than 90 years. So, when it came time to replace the aging structure that housed the organization’s Company 2 and its equipment, community was at the heart of the designers’ plans. Topping the new firehouse is a classic standing-seam metal roof from Petersen that promises to perform just as well as it looks.

A part of the Children’s Hospital Of The King’s Daughters, the Princess Anne Office Building is located at the new Sentara Princess Anne Medical campus in Virginia Beach, Virginia. A signature of the building’s exterior is a curved roof sweep created with aluminum standing seam panels by ATAS International. Situated on the ocean front, the 60,000 sq. ft. facility is only minutes down the street from an amphitheater on the appropriately-named Concert Drive. With that in mind, the building features a musically-themed environment for pediatric patients, who range in age from infants to 21 year olds.

Citadel panels highlight prominent entryways and design features of the new Princess Anne Outpatient Medical Center in Virginia Beach, VA. Part of the Sentara Healthcare network, the facility is located on 24 acres and includes two medical office buildings, emergency department, imaging center, laboratory services and retail pharmacy.Approximately 3,500 sq. ft. of Citadel Envelope 2000® Rout & Return System panels were utilized. Lyall Design of Norfolk, VA, was the project's architect.

When designing the Principle Business Enterprises’ (PBE) manufacturing plant in Bowling Green, Ohio, architect Kate MacPherson and PBE owners Carol and Chuck Stocking conducted extensive research. They were on a quest for the best daylighting product on the market. After identifying Kingspan Light + Air | CPI Daylighting’s UniQuad translucent wall panel system, the Stocking’s traveled across the Midwest reviewing existing UniQuad installations. Ultimately, 4,480 sq. ft. of the wall system was incorporated into the new PBE headquarters.

Though it blends beautifully with the colorful prismatic glass curtain wall around it, the Schweiss Doors hydraulic designer door incorporated as part of the remodel of a Boulder, Colorado office building has no trouble standing out. In its closed position the door looks an appropriate part of the overall wall, but open, it forms a grand opening to connect indoor and outdoor areas at the project dubbed Prism Plane.

They say you can find anything on the Internet so when it was time to find a manufacturer that could provide five bifold doors for a private hangar project at the Weiner Neustadt East Airport near Vienna, Austria, Robert Kudrna scoured the internet and found Schweiss Doors.

This 10,000 sq. ft. home located in a prestigious area of Salt Lake City, Utah, features diamond-shaped copper shingle roofing, along with a variety of other hand-crafted copper products from Copper Exclusive and its founder Erno Ovari. Among the impressive array of products designed, hand-made and installed by Copper Exclusive were: diamond-shaped copper roof shingles, crown molding, soffit, fascia, gutters, snow hooks, finials and more. A total of 16,000 lbs. of hand-crafter copper products were used on the project.

As part of an ambitious residential remodel, a Canadian homeowner turned a one-story home into a two, and changed its style from classic bungalow to Spanish mission. In completing a true-to-style transformation, the owner chose stucco and brick for the home’s new exterior walls and tile for the roof. But Allmet stone-coated steel—provided by VICWEST—was chosen over authentic clay or concrete for two basic reasons: weight and longevity.

Cool roofing metals are sustainable and energy efficient. But equally as important, these new-generation coated metals offer tremendous freedom of choice when it comes to color. At Sheffield Metals International—one of the country’s leading providers of roofing coil and flat stock to jobsite metal roofing manufacturers—the company’s COOLR® metals are available in a wide range of colors, including metallics and low-glosses. It was low-gloss Antique Black that was chosen for a large home nearing completion in central Virginia. The project’s 10,200 sq. ft. standing seam metal roof system was manufactured and installed by Blue Ridge Roofing Inc. of Charlottesville, VA.

Approximately 5,400 sq. ft. of Dri-Design Panels in two aspects of zinc--VM Quartz and Anthra Zinc--were used to create a stunning design for a Cincinnati, Ohio residence. Design for the upscale 5,000 sq. ft. residence was provided by Jose Garcia Design, Cincinnati.

Kent Mohler Exteriors (KME) of Kearney, MO has been involved in residential renovations for 34 years, concentrating primarily on siding and windows. For the past nine years the company has manufactured premium seamless metal siding using the NAMM Universal Siding Machine, manufactured by North American Machine Manufacturing Ltd. (NAMM) of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. KME’s signature panel is a modified vertical board and batten profile, which is widely accepted, though it also offers a number of other profiles, including 8” TruLog.

The design inspiration for a recently completed private residence located on the Wilmington River in Savannah, GA comes from the architectural and cultural influences of the Caribbean Islands. A primary design goal was to create a one-story house that suited the environment and also broke up the nearly 18,000 square feet of living area. This was achieved by creating a main house plus three guest houses. All are topped with RHEINZINK® Double Lock Standing Seam roof panels in a Pre-weathered Graphite Gray finish.

Promega Corporation has developed a reputation as a leader in providing innovative solutions and technical support to the life sciences industry. The worldwide corporation bolstered that reputation with the addition of its newest manufacturing building located in close proximity to its Madison, Wisc. headquarters, featuring exterior cladding from CENTRIA.

Surrounded by trees and rolling hills, Prospect Mountain High School is a beautiful, two-story brick building nestled in Alton, New Hampshire. It was built in 2004 and the shingle roof started to fail less than 10 years later, causing serious leaking inside the building. Rather than repair the shingle roof, the school chose to remedy the situation by retrofitting with a standing seam metal system from The Garland Company Inc.
