When it comes to working buildings, it’s tough to beat the pre-engineered metal building approach to construction. Metal buildings go up quickly and economically, and offer the flexibility to meet even the most precise design requirements. The recently completed Rosedale Transport building in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada serves as prime example. The 40,000 sq. ft. project was completed in November 2011 after 10 months of construction, utilizing a metal building system and components from Robertson Building Systems.

Tilt-up concrete walls were used in conjunction with Star’s products.

Inspired by the uniforms worn by the first responders trained there, blue and gray metal panels from Dri-Design clad the new 65,000-square-foot Round Rock Public Safety Training Center in Round Rock, TX. The panels' long-lasting Sherwin-Williams Fluropon® paint finishes were applied to the metal in coil form prior to fabrication by Linetec.

The new Roxboro Lift Station in Calgary, Alberta, Canada is built to withstand a once-in-a-century flood. But function wasn't the sole criteria in its design. It looks good too, blending in and standing out, thanks primarily to the use of cladding products from Kingspan Insulated Panels.

Built over 30 years ago, the Rubey Park Transit Center in Aspen, Colorado has undergone a recent transformation. To modernize the facility, the project's design team turned to elZinc architectural zinc.

The Rust Library renovation and expansion in Leesburg, Virginia added 15,000 sq. ft. of state-of-the-art library space to an existing 23,000 sq. ft. building. Topping the library is a new jobsite-manufactured Englert metal roof. The installation is noteworthy for the installing contractor's approach to fabricating panels for a conical roof that serves as one of the library's signature features.
