The Internet is an amazing marketing and informational tool. That's where Dr. Frank Bacque, a urologist in Lafayette, LA, went when he needed a different style door for his new garage. Knowing the roll-up doors he had on his other garages wouldn’t work because they would take up too much inside ceiling room for him to install an American-made “Backyard Buddy” car lift inside, he went browsing for alternatives and eventually found Schweiss Doors.

The Fahy Commons building at Muhlenberg College in Allentown, PA recently won three major sustainability awards. ATAS International manufactured the 24-gauge steel Sandstone and Classic Bronze 2” Field-Lok standing seam metal roof panels, 15-1/4” wide, for this building. A solar array consisting of 183 panels was installed over the metal roof panels.

INS Bank expanded its reach in Tennessee with the recent opening of another branch in Brentwood, a Nashville suburb. The new location has a strong professional appearance with the addition of VMZINC® Series Panels by Dri-Design. The design team at MJM Architects, Nashville, worked with the owner’s initial design concept for the building.

Located on 4.5+ acres in the heart of Black Forest, Colorado, the new S-5! corporate headquarters and campus consists of a two-story office building that sports exterior and interior metal finishes, and is a comfortable yet provocative space for the company, and an adjacent support building that houses the company’s video training center, a prototype shop and test facilities.

Infinity Meat Solutions LLC recently opened a 200,000 square foot meat-packaging facility, developed with an estimated investment of $100 million. With the majority of the facility being earmarked for cold storage, Metl-Span’s insulated metal panels served as a major component of the project.

In Mankato, MN, one business is going to the dogs, literally. The Paw is an innovative pet care facility that offers a whole host of services. In addition to being a pet daycare, it offers medical care, rehabilitation, grooming, exercise programs and organizes and hosts social events. Helping the business operate safely and efficiently is a one-of-a-kind liftable divider door from Schweiss Doors.

It may not rival the buildings it connects to in terms of size, scope or impact on campus life, but the skybridge that connects Colorado Mesa University's Maverick Center to the recently completed Foster Field House is an appreciated finishing touch for students, coaches and faculty who use those facilities. The exterior of the elevated pedestrian walkway is attractive too, wrapped in sleek-looking Omega-Lite® ACM panels from Laminators Incorporated.

A recent renovation project for the Minneapolis Public Housing Authority’s Elliot Twin Towers development shows how these aging facilities can be upgraded to add decades to their usefulness and comfort to their residents’ lives. A metal wall panel system from Petersen was used for a creative effect in this project, adding both insulating value and upscale visual flair.

While trends create buzz, historical designs leave a lasting impression. Hotel Eleo at the University of Florida in Gainesville is attracting attention with its design references to a master plan that French architect Le Corbusier created for Algiers in the 1930s, but in a material language that includes weathering steel metal wall panels from Dri-Design. The building blends with the surrounding historic architecture of the campus, while also standing out.

When Baldassarra Architects was tasked with designing a 716,646 square-foot warehouse located at the GTA East Industrial Park in Ajax, Ontario, the firm responded with a conceptual design for an attractive building that could appeal to a wide range of corporate interests, and satisfying high standards for aesthetics. But insulated metal wall panels from Kingspan Insulated Panels proved the perfect cladding solution for reasons beyond looks alone.

The Town of Pensaukee is a growing Wisconsin community, 30 minutes north of Green Bay. The town found itself in need of a larger fire station headquarters to meet the needs of the community. The town council decided the wide selection of metal roofing and wall panel profiles and colors from McElroy Metal would be the best long-term solution for this new facility.

The recently completed Pine Island Academy in Florida's St. John's County is a K-8 school that features PAC-CLAD metal roof panels from Petersen to highlight entrances, interior stairwells and light wells. It illustrates how such decorative touches can help the district’s schools develop their own characters, even if they’re all built to similar plans.

There’s a saying – Go big, or go home. And that's precisely what SEI Construction of Morristown, TN did with its decision to incorporate bifold hangar doors from Schweiss Doors on hangars they own and lease at the Morristown Regional Airport. The largest of the three measures 80' wide and 28' tall, while the two smaller doors are still impressively sized at 60' wide and 24' tall.

The recently constructed parking garage at Connecticut’s historic Stamford Station is more than utilitarian. Thanks to the inclusion of 66,000 square feet of Sculpted 3D panels from Metalwërks on its exterior, the structure visually enhances the landmark station. Handling the installation of the system's unitized façade panels and support steel was Mohawk Construction and Viking Erectors of McMurray, PA.

Edgewater II Apartment complex is just minutes away from some of Philadelphia’s best restaurants, entertainment, shopping, and culture. But residents have plenty of reasons to stay home, thanks to many amenities. The building looks great too, thanks in part to the inclusion of Omega-Lite® ACM panels from Laminators Incorporated of Hatfield, PA.

The heat in Texas is no joke, and temperatures are trending higher. That's part of the reason why insulated metal panels from Kingspan Insulated Panels were chosen for Aisin's new transmission plant in Cibolo. The half-million-square-foot facility utilizes two styles of panels that offer both aesthetics and energy efficiency.

The renovated Millennium High School's forward-looking design begins with its exterior, where PAC-CLAD metal wall panels from Petersen are arranged in a complex pattern that helps break up the mass of the 45,000-sq.-ft. structure and sets it apart from the typical high school gymnasium.

This is not the first time East Market Street in Philadelphia has seen revitalization. The former Mallas Building, constructed in the 19th century, sat among many mixed-use structures in the area in need of improvements and new tenants. As Panda Express prepared to move into the building, a facelift was needed. The installation of Dri-Design with Perforated Imaging panels brings a sense of art and style to a bustling Philadelphia corner.

The renovation and retrofit of the Science IV building on the campus of Binghamton University demonstrates how the skillful design, fabrication and application of ALUCOBOND® PLUS aluminum composite material (ACM) can transform an outdated, boring façade.

When Drew Bowlds, owner of Bowlds Construction and four self-storage sites in the state of Washington, got the idea to use Schweiss hangar doors on the exterior of his new self-storage facility, it was a game-changer. In addition to solving issues related to codes, the integration of the doors actually helped his new West Coast Storage facility become more profitable.
