In 2013, Michigan State University’s football team won every single game played at Spartan Stadium. This year, the players will grab their gear from lockers featuring Banker Wire mesh before walking onto the field that saw so many victories.

The Sacramento Department Of Motor Vehicles field office required a complex phased construction design because the site improvements needed to take place while the building was occupied and functioning. The renovation featured architectural metal products from CENTRIA.

Within every historic renovation are modern materials that integrate a project’s past with today’s code requirements and products. Varco Pruden builder LGM Construction found creative solutions to meet sustainability guidelines in the construction of the Kennedy Tailing Wheel Preservation & Access Project.

ASC Building Products’ Skyline Roofing® was selected for use on the Spirit Bay residential development, a new waterfront community on Southern Vancouver Island, British Columbia.

When Brigham Young Academy was founded in 1875, it was the equivalent of what today would be considered a high school. The ambition shown by the school's board of directors then can still be found in the decisions of campus leaders today, including the one to replace the institution's cramped College of Life Sciences building with a bigger and better facility…a facility that features ALPOLIC® material aluminum composite metal wall panels.

Scholfield Buick GMC in Wichita, Kansas is sporting a new state-of-the-art facility thanks to Conco Construction, an American Buildings Company Authorized Builder.

Blending the peace of mind that comes with student housing with the privacy of apartment living, Fuse gives Purdue University students in West Lafayette, IN the best of both worlds.

Schweiss Doors may not be in the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame but two of its hydraulic doors are on it. The utilization of the doors on such an acclaimed project speaks volumes for the reputation of the Fairfax, MN-based manufacturer and its ability to produce doors to match virtually any architectural design.

One of the newest attractions at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Cape Canaveral, FL is the $100 million Space Shuttle Atlantis exhibit. The exhibit enclosure, completed in 2013, was designed by PGAV Destinations and features panels on its exterior from VMZINC, the international brand name of rolled zinc products manufactured and sold by the Building Products Unit of the Umicore Group.

Operating in 10 Northeastern states, Cumberland Farms is one of the largest regional convenience store chains in the United States.

At the end of a dirt road in southern Vermont is a stunning timber and stone residence designed to resemble a 16th century Anglo-Norman manor house. The adjacent barn is styled to look as though it was from the same period too. It is topped with zinc, a roofing material with European roots dating back many centuries. The zinc roofing material supplier, RHEINZINK America Inc., has the same European lineage but now thrives in the United States as well.

The Port of Kalama’s Transportation Interpretive Center opened to the public in November 2014.

Athena Gun Club in Houston, TX is one of the largest facilities of its kind in the United States at 38,000 square feet.

PDG Architects worked with CYAD Construction to create the upscale space that the CEO and co-founder John Boyert envisioned.

The Clarks Logistic Center in Hanover, Pa., is a 451,000-square-foot distribution facility. Built with the company’s future in mind - and featuring metal products from CENTRIA - the project uses the latest in material handling technology. The center ships out an average of 100,000 pairs of shoes a day through the use of 4-1/2 miles of conveyor belts and an employee base of nearly 500. The building achieved LEED® Gold Certification for its high-performance building envelope, among other factors.

The Vancouver Aquarium’s $45-million renovation and expansion was unveiled in June 2014 in Vancouver, British Columbia’s Stanley Park. Designed to evoke the flow of water and the wonder of aquatic life, the new two-story 55,000 square-foot aquarium building features a curvilinear architectural design that is clad in color-changing aluminum composite material from 3A Composites USA, mimicking fish scales in hues ranging from green to pink.

Duranar® fluoropolymer coatings and Solarban® solar control low-e glass manufactured by PPG are vital to the center’s performance, functionality and contemporary design.

How do you handle a monster job? You call in your own monster: “Archzilla” from McElroy Metal. Archzilla is a roll former attached to a scissors lift that elevates the roll former to the eaves. The panels – more than 115 feet long on the Waxahachie Civic Center – run off the machine at the eaves, where installers are ready to carry them over the peak to the opposite roof edge. Panels that long require 15-20 workers to safely handle and place the new roofing, even in the best conditions.

Architect Enrique Norten calls Rutgers Business School's new 100 Rock building both a landmark and a gateway. The $85 million structure, located on Rutgers University - New Brunswick's Livingston campus in Piscataway, NJ, has an iconic presence and was designed in such a way as to straddle the campus' main entry road. Lending to the unique building's visual interest is a multi-faceted rainscreen metal cladding, fabricated by Metalwërks®, a division of Metal Sales & Service, Kennett Square, PA.
