The needs of many disciplines come together in the Wortman Medical Science Center, a medical professional and education/training building in Pasco, Wash. Designing a building for multiple purposes that reflects the feel of the neighborhood was the task of MMEC Architecture & Interiors, Spokane, Wash. The firm selected SinoCore® by Citadel Architectural Products for a modern aesthetic with low maintenance and inherent durability.

Sports facilities are unique environments that face varying environmental conditions from both within and outside the structure. In evaluating building materials, client and builder seek proven solutions for meeting environmental requirements, codes and long-term durability without forsaking the art of design. For the construction of the Boston Sports Institute in Wellesley, MA, insulated metal panels from Metl-Span checked all boxes.

Officials in Boulder, CO are serious about energy efficiency. With the goal to have net-zero homes—homes which produce as much energy as they consume—homeowners there are turning increasingly to rooftop solar. This is good news for metal roofing manufacturers and companies like Colorado Springs-based S-5!, maker of a solar panel installation kit that facilitates the attachment of solar panels to metal roofs, typically without penetrating the metal panel surface or affecting the roof system warranty.

Lorin Industries Inc., a global industry leader in the innovation and production of coil anodized aluminum, supplied the anodized aluminum for the unique shining silver-toned exterior panels for the CapitaMall LuOne shopping complex, located in Shanghai, China.

On a mission to construct a long-lasting, low-maintenance, Net Zero post-frame home, Corbin Borkholder was very specific about the products he selected, including a McElroy Metal roofing profile to host the solar laminate panels.

Manitoulin Transport operates a busy trucking terminal in Montreal, Quebec, located in a high volume industrial area near the Montréal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport. The original metal roof, which was approximately 50 years old, was replaced with Garland’s R-Mer® Span standing seam panels. The reroof process was completed in 2019.

A beautiful new Varco Pruden corporate jet hangar, built by Ordell Construction for Lanz Cabinets of Eugene, OR, features a 76-foot wide by 23-1/2-foot tall hydraulic door from Schweiss Doors. The 9,288-square-foot hangar houses several offices, a kitchen, a meeting room and a fireplace lounge.

The Navy Federal Credit Union is in the middle of a growth spurt that is seeing it build an average of 20 new branches every year. Serving all branches of the U.S. armed forces, along with Department of Defense employees and military veterans, the organization had approximately 8 million customers at the end of 2018. A new branch opened in St. Marys, Ga. - featuring aluminum roofing by Petersen - is emblematic of the influence Southern coastal design has had on NFCU’s newer facilities in the region.

The new Habitat ReStore facility in Kenner, Louisiana features Rigid Frame construction by Varco Pruden Buildings. Recognizing the innovative design and quality of workmanship, the 25,000 sq. ft. structure was selected as the winner in the Retail category of the 2020 Varco Pruden Hall of Fame Awards.

A local dental office. Sounds like your typical run-of-the-mill design/build project, right? But the design for Family Dental Care Of Lemoore was no ordinary design. The facility's design was so successful that it was named the 2018 Star Building Systems Master Builder Award Winner of the Health-Related Category.

With an angular futuristic design and dynamic color-shifting aluminum composite material cladding from 3A Composites USA that melds red with orange and yellow, the new Esperanza Brighton Park health center serves as a glowing beacon, welcoming residents seeking healthcare and wellness services in this previously underserved southwest Chicago neighborhood.

A well-designed school should foster a functional learning and work environment for students and staff while being a positive design element for the community. Amon Creek Elementary is the latest addition to the Kennewick School District in Richland, WA. The design team at MMEC Architecture, Spokane, WA, turned to Citadel Architectural Products’ Envelope 2000® RainScreen (RS) metal composite material (MCM) panels to create an inviting school with defined spaces.

Fourth-generation siblings oversaw the construction of the new Zialena Winery production facility and hospitality center in Geyersville, CA, using insulated metal panels from Metl-Span on both buildings.

S-5! Metal Roof Innovations, a leading authority on metal roof attachment technology, saw its premier snow retention solution selected for installation on a new state-of-the-art elementary school project in Latrobe, Pennsylvania.

To attract and retain high-tech tenants at the Mountain View Corporate Center, the development's new owners updated three concrete buildings to include attractive modern metal facades. The 23,000 sq. ft. of Copper Anodize aluminum wall panels utilized on the project were fabricated at the Fontana, CA plant of Morin Corporation, anodized by Wausau, WI-based Linetec and then shipped directly to the job site for installation by Sheet Metal Systems (SMS) of Hollister, CA.

With energy efficiency and aesthetics both important considerations, the designers of the new Salk Middle School in Spokane, WA, chose products from Kingspan Insulated Panels - North America as major components of construction. The project's first phase of construction utilized Kingspan's BENCHMARK Designwall 2000 panels while the second phase incorporated the company's KarrierPanel backup wall system under corrugated siding.

Venice, CA is a buzzing beach town with its own unique vibe. Not far from the free-spirited Venice Boardwalk, Muscle Beach, funky shops, stylish boutiques and foodie hotspots, is a quaint, new-construction modernistic home designed by architect Matthew Royce. This envy-inducing split-level rental home, which is also owned by the architect, melds indoor living with outdoor space through the incorporation of a custom-made Schweiss one-piece hydraulic designer door.

Eddyfi Technologies’ world headquarters building in Quebec City is a model of contemporary architecture, biophilic design and sustainable materials – from the generous application of locally sourced wood and use of large, triple-glazed windows, to the selection of solvent-free PPG Coraflon coatings to protect and embellish its muted aluminum cladding.

Cambridge Architectural continues to expand its portfolio of projects incorporating etched metal mesh with the addition of a five-story stair tower façade at Ohlone College in Freemont, California.

The new Kimbrough Animal Hospital in Longview, Texas, was born of tragedy. A fire in the hospital’s previous building destroyed that structure. In the plans to rebuild, the owner wanted the highest level of fire protection, along with a design that reflected the area’s agricultural heritage and the journey he’d taken to create a new facility from the ashes of the old. Metal roof and wall panels from Petersen helped with both goals.
