On Chicago’s Northwest Side, Intrinsic Schools’ new 58,000-square-foot Belmont Campus transforms a former lumberyard into a contemporary educational facility. The public charter school building showcases a distinctive, patterned facade with multiple components finished in Valspar’s Fluropon® 70 percent polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) resin-based exterior coatings. Among them were insulated metal panel systems from Kingpan Insulated Panels.

A state of the art medical facility required an appearance to match, blending bricks and glass, as well as composite panels from Citadel Architectural Products.

The Wolf Creek neighborhood in the southwest suburb of Atlanta has been undergoing a resurgence in recent years. Another piece to the area's comeback was added with the opening of the Wolf Creek Library in September 2014. Designed by Leo A. Daly, the building's exterior is clad with ALPOLIC®/fr 4mm fire-retardant aluminum composite material from ALPOLIC® Materials | Mitsubishi Plastics Composites America.

The founding of the Opus One winery in California's Napa Valley in 1979 brought together two of the top names in winemaking, one from the Old World wine establishment in Europe and one from the New World winemaking industry in the United States. The design of the winery's new equipment shop reflects a balance too, where function on the one hand is countered by form on the other. Fortunately, the bifold and hydraulic doors specified for the state-of-the-art facility satisfied both desires. They were manufactured by Schweiss Doors of Hector, MN.

The new Holiday Inn Manhattan-Financial District is lighting up the Wall Street neighborhood with a brilliant metal-paneled façade. Crafted from Reynobond® Aluminum Composite Material (ACM), the facade attracts and reflects light to brighten the street-level pedestrian landscape around it. The new hotel also provides a new superlative for Manhattan. At 50 stories tall, it is the tallest Holiday Inn in the world.

For almost 35 years, Pittsburg State University, Pittsburg Kan., had limited performing arts offerings for its students because the campus did not have a facility to support a large program. That changed this academic year when the Bicknell Family Center for the Arts opened. Four shades of the Dri-Design Wall Panel System clad the building to make it warm and inviting while also standing out.

The Bale Breaker Brewing Company is located just east of Yakima, Washington, in the small town of Moxee, the self-proclaimed Hop Capital of the World. Surrounded on three sides by a field of Cascade hops, the new facility is the first and only known brewery in America located in a working hop field. Utilized for the brewery's construction were insulated metal panels from Kingspan.

A unique and challenging roofing problem on a large school called for a permanent solution. Freedom Roofing Solutions of Vilonia, AR provided one by topping the gymnasium at Greers Ferry High School in Greers Ferry, AR with a jobsite-fabricated Drexel Metals standing seam metal roof system.

Because the show must go on, what served as a canopy-style roof at the Miller Outdoor Theater in Houston needed repairs in short order. Byrne Metals installed more than 18,000 square feet of copper 238T standing seam panels during the 5-month offseason by calling in the roll former from McElroy Metal that runs panels right onto the roof deck.

The Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex is the new $100 million home of the priceless, historic Space Shuttle Atlantis exhibit which tells the story of NASA’s 30-year space shuttle program. The Atlantis exhibit is the marquee element of the Visitor Complex’s 10-year master construction plan. Architectural metal products from CENTRIA played a key role in the design of the Titusville, FL complex.

In January 2013, the Seminole Tribe of Florida and Stiles Construction announced a joint venture partnership to create Seminole/Stiles, LLC. Among the projects completed by the company so far is the Howard Tiger Recreational Center in Hollywood, FL. One of its features is a airnasium, created utilizing a metal building framing system from Allied Steel Buildings of Ft. Lauderdale, FL.

When the aging metal roof on the Rockland County, NY Sheriff's Department headquarters reached the end of its service life, county facilities management decided on a solution growing in popularity. Rather than tearing off the old roof and then installing a new one, they decided to leave the old roof alone and install a new metal roof right over the top. The system they chose was from Englert Inc., Perth Amboy, NJ.

A very private beachfront residence in Gulf County, Florida, used approximately 5,200 sq. ft. of .040” aluminum Snap-Clad panels in silver color in both tapered and straight applications. Petersen Aluminum was chosen as metal roof supplier for its ability to make the tapered panels in the desired single 19-foot lengths and then the balance of the straight panels.

In Nevada's Douglas County, 30% of the 46,000 residents are senior citizens; thus the need for a senior community center had been vocalized for decades. The Douglas County Community and Senior Center was built, with the help of metal panels from MBCI, to become the focal point of the community as a whole - for all ages.

Established as a tent hospital in 1867, the Cheyenne Regional Medical Center in Cheyenne, WY has come a long, long way. The hospital's latest growth spurt included many improvements to the existing facilities, as well as the construction of a free-standing cancer center and a bridge connecting it to the hospital. One of the products used to tie all elements of the project together was the Omega-Lite® aluminum composite wall panel system from Laminators Inc. of Hafield, PA.

Solid construction and aesthetic style led the developers of SilverWing at Sandpoint airpark to select hangar doors from Schweiss Doors.

San Francisco’s Tenderloin area is one of the city’s most densely populated neighborhoods. And while most of its residents live below the poverty line without access to backyards or green space, they do have a Boeddeker Park, a recently redeveloped public space whose features include a clubhouse clad with zinc tiles and roofing from MetalTech-USA of Peachtree City, GA. The material they were fabricated from was from RHEINZINK America Inc., Woburn, MA.

Superstorm Sandy barreled up the East Coast in 2012, causing record amounts of damage and destruction while becoming the largest Atlantic hurricane on record. Its powerful winds and torrential rains damaged countless businesses and homes along the Eastern U.S., including Playland Amusement Park and its iconic Ice Casino. Metal roofing from The Garland Co. Inc. played a key role in the restoration of the historic Rye, New York facility.

It is not easy to find affordable apartment rentals in Chicago. The pace of new multi-family housing construction hasn’t been fast enough to meet the demand. Sometimes though, these new buildings turn out to be worth the wait. That's certainly true in the case of 1611 West Division, an 11-story apartment building clad predominantly with BENCHMARK by Kingspan Designwall™ 1000 architectural metal panels.

Integrated Roof Solutions Inc. completed a retrofit re-roofing project for the Select Inn hotel located in Murfreesboro, TN. The hotel’s existing exposed fastened R-Panel roof was in need of replacement after servicing the building for over 30 years. In lieu of removing the metal panels and exposing the building interior to the elements, a retrofit sub-framing system manufactured by Roof Hugger Inc. was used.
