The new $13 million JD Ross Maintenance Headquarters facility in Vancouver, WA, is nothing, if not energy efficient. Utilized as the Bonneville Power Administration’s (BPA) Southwest Washington base for transmission line for substation maintenance crews, substation operators, control technicians and support engineers, the building is 'Net Zero' in terms of energy use. Fitting with that goal, the building's architect equipped the structure with bifold doors from Schweiss Doors.

Spanning 39 stories and more than 500,000 total square feet, the new West Edge Tower in downtown Seattle has already become an iconic architectural feature in the city’s celebrated skyline. The tower relies on a highly efficient mix of cladding materials, including curtain wall, glass, masonry and high-performance insulated metal panels by Metl-Span.

The Twin Cities Orthopedics Performance Center - also serving as the Minnesota Vikings Team Headquarters and Practice Facility - exemplifies the team’s spirit, unity, and resilience. Through its design, it also nods to ancient Viking history, culture, country of origin, and forms including longships and their intricate jewelry. CENTRIA’s Formawall® high-performance building envelope was deemed the ideal product to fulfill Crawford Architects’ vision.

When officials in Lilburn, Ga., planned the new double-duty library and city hall building, the vision called for interior spaces that provided ease of access and circulation within the structure, with a shared lobby space on the first and second floor. On the exterior, steep-slope roof elements draw attention to certain building functions and entry locations, and metal roof panels by Petersen accentuate these spaces.

Metalwërks® products are prominently featured at the new Marriott EDITION hotel located at 701 Seventh Avenue in Times Square, New York City.

A Florida roofing contractor is known for giving its customers what they want, and what the Solid Waste Authority of West Palm Beach County, FL wanted was a solution to a leaking roof.

When real estate firm Altis Cardinal brought CubeSmart Self Storage to St. Petersburg, Florida, it recognized the potential in the city. Since the developers were bringing it to an urban area, they recognized they needed to design a building of high-level aesthetics and performance. Metal panel systems from Kingspan helped those goals be realized.

When creating a truly motivating retail experience, the dedication of every construction team member is needed. Millennium Interiors in Pottstown, Pa., shows commitment to its craft in all its jobs through its detailed work and corporate beliefs. This is evident in its work at Altar'd State, a women’s clothing boutique at The Promenade Shops at Soucon Valley in Central Valley, Pa., where curves were created with Flex-C Arch and Flex-C Trac from Flex-Ability Concepts.

The new High Street Residence Hall at Dickinson College, showcases modern student living inside, and a zinc façade in durable, distinctive and sustainable RHEINZINK cladding, on the outside.

Students at the University of Nebraska Omaha’s Pacific campus have the opportunity to live, worship and play together in the new St. John Paul II Newman Center. From the start of the student housing design phase, BVH Architecture, Omaha, wanted to use metal wall panels that would inspire the students to live the journey for which they were called in a building that enlightened their college experience. Dri-Design's VMZINC Series panels were chosen for their appearance, scale and durability.

School design has come a long way since the 1950s. Gone are standardized boxy structures, and in are spaces filled with natural light. Wichita High School Southeast is a new campus that replaces a 1950s structure and meets the community's growing population needs with current design practices. The exterior showcases Citadel Architectural Products’ Envelope 2000® metal composite material (MCM), installed using the RainScreen (RS) attachment system.

Robinson opened its doors to employees in August 2018 as the first anchor tenant in the Lincoln Yards revitalization development near the Lincoln Park neighborhood of Chicago.

The leaders of the Soul City Church on Chicago’s west side sought help with plans for expansion to meet the needs of a growing congregation.

The latest addition to Jekyll Island Club Resorts is the Jekyll Island Ocean Suites, a boutique oceanfront hotel in Georgia. The venue is associated with the nearby historic and famed Jekyll Island Club which was founded in 1886 and catered to the nation’s wealthiest families. With its oceanfront site, the use of aluminum for the roof was the only choice to stand up to the harsh saltwater environment. Approximately 20,000 sq. ft. of Petersen’s Snap-Clad panels were installed.

Within the San Francisco Civic Center are some of the city's most distinguished buildings, including the gold-domed San Francisco City Hall. While the nearby Bi-Rite Café is no match for those buildings in terms of size, prominence or importance, the 640 sq. ft. food kiosk looks quite at home despite the architecturally imposing setting. Helping the little building make a big visual impression are ornately designed bifold liftstrap doors from Schweiss Doors. 

San Francisco International Airport (SFO), one of the busiest airports in the United States, recently completed a new building called the SFO Consolidated Administration Campus.
