Opening in the spring 2016, the Polk Penguin Conservation Center at the Detroit Zoo is the largest of its kind in the world. It rises visually as a monolithic tabular iceberg, sparkling brightly in the sun.

To create that impression, its exterior is comprised of metal wall panels from IMETCO, featuring a custom white paint finish developed by Valspar.

Equal Door Industries of Calgary, Alberta, Canada bills itself as Canada's Premier Garage Door Company.

So with the involvement of both companies in the manufacture and installation of four exceptionally tall doors for a Calgary-based modular building manufacturer, smooth sailing was practically guaranteed.

When the time came to address the aging aluminized steel roof on the Mount Pleasant Glass Centre in Mount Pleasant, PA, many options were considered. The one that made the most sense was to cover the old metal roof with a new one from Norcross, GA-based IMETCO.

Banker Wire worked with ZGF Architects LLP to create a custom mesh railing infill for the South Tower building on UCLA’s Center for the Health Sciences (CHS) complex.

For more than a decade, the patrons of the Reece Point Clubhouse at Coyote Run Golf Course were forced to put up with a leaky roof at the entrances.

An antiquated business complex in Windsor, Connecticut has been reimagined into the new CREC Academy of Aerospace and Engineering, a state-of-the-art Magnet School, with the help of MetalTech-USA’s zinc panels.

The old structure was stripped to its steel frame and retrofitted to be as visionary as the school itself.

Valspar, MORIN and ALPOLIC are names synonymous with bold architectural designs. Fitting then that all three were involved in creating the new look for one of Dallas' most venerable medical institutions, the Parkland Hospital.

Inspired by noted American architect Norman Jaffe, the strikingly contemporary Sagaponack Residence on Long Island is highlighted by distinctively unique angles both inside and out.
