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.

The University of Wisconsin-Platteville has long had a reputation for producing some of the Midwest’s top engineering students and aims to continue that success. The school’s plan is to have Sesquicentennial Hall “transform the way UW-Platteville educates the next generation of engineering leaders.” Thanks to the use of zinc tiles on the exterior, provided by Sheet Metal Supply, the building similarly impacts the school's campus visually too.

Like most projects, expectations were high for the Northampton Forensic Center building. Thanks in large part to the choice of insulated metal panels from Metl-Span, the project turned out to be an award winner that was completed on time and on budget.

Gilbert Place is a six story, mixed use, class A office building located in historic downtown Blacksburg, Virginia. Developed for the Virginia Tech Foundation, the building serves many functions, in addition to being a showpiece for Kingspan Insulated Panels, provider of both insulated metal panels and the barrier wall system used on 95% of the structure.

A new station for the Mowbray Volunteer Fire Department in Soddy-Daisy, Tenn., opens up the department to the surrounding community, both visually and literally, thanks to its substantial meeting space. It also features a classic design with metal roof panels and wall highlights from Petersen that will help ease maintenance for decades to come.
