The design team selected Dri-Design Tapered Series Panels to create a unique structure that helps tenants feel at home while at work.

The Barn can accommodate more than 300 guests and is topped by 16,000 square feet of Medallion-Lok roofing panels from McElroy Metal.

SAF, a global metals distributor, fabricator, anodizer and finisher, was an important player in the recently completed rebuild of the Harrison PATH train station in Harrison, NJ.

The redesign of the Sharon Forks Library in Cumming, Georgia nearly doubled the size, giving it much needed room to grow, while requiring its closure for only six to eight weeks during the yearlong construction process.
