A designer, builder and building owner found a product that they like, and they have stuck with it on many collaborative projects. Flex-Ability Concepts’ Flex-C Trac is that product, and it was used to add design detail to the team’s latest creation - Majestic Nail Spa in Dallas, Texas.

The new Grace Place Church in Berthoud, CO shows off nearly 30,000 total square feet of wall, roof, and soffit panels from Metal Sales Manufacturing Corporation. Grace Place offers live concert performances, retreats and special worship just for kids. In order to make this sanctuary as contemporary as the organization itself, the church needed authentic materials that would match its mission.

This combination creates a spectacular streetscape for a downtown development.

Design of San Francisco International Airport’s new traffic control tower not only was focused on functional goals - including meeting seismic event standards, offering maximum sightlines and accommodating state-of-the-art electronics - it also needed to serve as an iconic symbol. Aluminum composite material from 3A Composites USA was selected to clad the tower.

Set to open in 2016, the new development at the Boeing Delivery Center in Charleston, SC will be a state-of-the-art aircraft paint facility.

Following the mantra of “learning by the sea,” the new Sullivan’s Island Elementary School in South Carolina is only a stone’s throw from the Atlantic Ocean. Given its beach-front location, the selection of Petersen’s PAC-CLAD aluminum roof and wall panels was an obvious choice to counter the corrosive environment and protect the school from frequent, punishing storms and occasional earthquakes.

There's nothing ordinary about the U.S. Army Special Forces, and there's nothing ordinary about the insulated roof and wall systems chosen for several buildings dedicated to the Special Forces and located at Cannon Air Force Base in Curry County, New Mexico. Featured on the unit's new hangar and aircraft maintenance facility are products from Kingspan Insulated Panels North America of Deland, FL.

In July 2015, the Buerger Center for Advanced Pediatric Care opened as the newest addition to The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia campus.

Its curving curtainwall systems feature Valspar’s high-performance Fluropon® coating systems in nine bold colors.

How champion snowmobiler Frans Rosenquist got his start in farming back in the late 1970s is a bit unusual. How he came to rely exclusively on doors from Schweiss Doors for his farm's outbuildings is completely typical.

Indiana State University’s 2009 housing project plans came to life in the fall of 2015 with the completion of a new student housing complex, 500 Wabash Ave in Terre Haute, IN.

The Ryerson University new Student Learning Center (SLC) was designed to offer students a home away from home, complemented by an exquisite design. Tall and visually striking, Ryerson’s Student Learning Center projects an edgy but confident look, thanks in part to the incorporation of Valspar-finished metal panels on its exterior.
