There's nothing like a little fresh air. Those charged with designing Building 40 on the campus of pharmaceutical company Genentech in South San Francisco certainly knew that. That's why they integrated three Bifold Designer Doors from Schweiss Doors into the design of an employee cafe to create a pleasant indoor/outdoor dining environment.

It used to be that churches, no matter the religious affiliation, shared many similar traits – never straying too far from a consistent set of traditional and expected details: stained glass, a steeple, pews, song books, a piano. Today, tradition has given way to reinvention as can be seen at The Crossing Church in Sequoyah County, Oklahoma. It was brought to life with the help of products from Star Building Systems.

Renovating and transforming a 70-year-old manufacturing facility into a contemporary office building with impressive amenities, requires some imagination, careful planning and a lot of communication. The Cannon, an entrepreneurial hub in west Houston, also called for more than 90,000 square feet of insulated metal panels (IMPs) from Metl-Span for walls and roofing.

While grounded in tradition, the new 52,444-square-foot Boulder Jewish Community Center in Boulder, CO is a contemporary example of today’s sustainable design. The building’s most visible energy-saving feature is the solar array mounted on a large section of curved metal roofing. The 74.4kW PV array was installed quickly and effectively, and without violating the metal roofing warranty, using the S-5-PVKIT® 2.0 from Colorado Springs, CO-based S-5!.

Completed in 2019, the eco-friendly and state-of-the-art DeWitt Family Science Center creates a grand entrance to the campus of Northwestern College in Orange City, IA. The 61,000 sq. ft. facility is clad with metal panels from Quality Metalcrafts, finished in Fluropon® 70% PVDF coil coatings from Sherwin-Williams Coil Coatings. The building serves the health science programs at the college.

OTTO Brewerytown is a two-building, two-phase project, with a total of 52 high-end, high-tech condo units. It is located in a rapidly developing neighborhood, just five minutes to Philadelphia’s Center City. ATAS International's custom Grand C panels in three colors - Patina Green, Silversmith and Brilliant Green - in .032 aluminum, and Versa-Seam panels - in Silversmith - in .040 aluminum, were used to create an eye-catching design for the building’s exterior.

The original standing seam metal roof over the Cancer Center at CHI St. Joseph Health in Bryan, Texas was peppered with white repair material at the seams, in the valleys, at transitions and around penetrations. The new roof - Garland's R-Mer® Loc metal panel system - was carefully and meticulously engineered to ensure complete watertight protection of the 25,000-plus sq. ft. facility.

CENTRIA®, manufacturer of metal wall and roof panels, played a substantial role in the design of the Mission Health North Tower in Asheville, NC. A $400-million, 12-story facility, the hospital includes 220 patient rooms, a 94-bed emergency room, interventional and cardiac catheterization suites and digital operating rooms.

Woodstock, NY is best known as the site of a small music festival that made some news in 1969. But it’s also a bucolic, Upstate New York village that prides itself on its own style of quirky, small-town charm. A recently opened affordable-rental project features buildings designed to fit into the area’s rural character, topped by metal roof panels from Petersen.

When consumers think of top-quality car lines, Mercedes-Benz is one of the first that comes to mind. When design and construction professionals think of top-quality bifold and hydraulic doors, Schweiss Doors is in a class of its own.

It might be a stretch to say that divine intervention played a part in the connection between long-time Star Building Systems builder G&W Builders and Reliance Church in Temecula, CA., but it certainly worked out to be a successful outcome for them both when Reliance Church was looking for the perfect team to build their new church amid the lush landscape and mountainous terrain of their hometown.

A 6,500 sq. ft. addition to Two EE's Winery in Huntington, IN was completed in August 2019 by CME Corp., a Varco Pruden Builder located in Fort Wayne, IN. The project was selected as the winner in the Agricultural category of the 2020 Varco Pruden Hall of Fame Awards.

The Red Petal Pavilion is comprised of 10 overlapping 30-foot tall curved petals - featuring aluminum composite material from 3A Composites USA - that cascade from a rooftop oculus down to street level. It's situated in a plaza outside a new office building and adjacent to the Emily Carr University of Art + Design campus in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Architectural panels made with Lorin AnoZinc® and ClearBrite® are the focal point of the exterior for a private residence in Old Tappan, New Jersey, designed by architectural firm Architectura and built by Corsair Construction.

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.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, the South Street Seaport was revitalized as an entertainment and retail destination for Manhattan locals and New York visitors. Within this re-emerging East River waterfront community, Pier 17 rises as a beacon of shops, restaurants and public spaces. The 300,000-square-foot building showcases an attractive, resilient four-story façade featuring wall panels made with RHEINZINK prePATINA® zinc.

A stunning copper Field-Lok standing seam roof is showcased on the 1863 Club at the historic Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, NY. The building won first place for the category of commercial roofs in ATAS International’s project of the year awards for 2019.

The renovation of the historic building at 888 16th St. NW in the nation’s capital included a complete transformation of the façade, down to the precast structural members. The new façade is comprised of Portuguese limestone, granite, curtain wall and larson by Alucoil metal composite panels.

For building owners in the island city of Galveston, Texas, good design isn’t only about aesthetics – it’s also about survivability. Their city was nearly wiped off the map in the devastating Hurricane of 1900, so every renovation decision comes down to a balance of beauty and resilience. The new Petersen metal roof installed on the city’s historic St. Patrick church meets both criteria, helping to secure the structure’s landmark status for decades to come.

Now you see it. Now you don’t. A vanishing garage door is what Wayne Braun wanted and with the help of a 21-foot by 10-foot bifold liftstrap door from Schweiss Doors, that's precisely what he got!
