Architecture firm Booth Hansen designed a private retreat on the forested shores of Lake Huron in Ontario. The owners sought to maximize the views and access to outdoors, while remaining good stewards of the land. The 7-acre setting hosts a cluster of standalone "cabins" connected by weathertight walkways. Cladding those cabins is zinc, manufactured by RHEINZINK America and supplied by Sheet Metal Supply Ltd. of Grayslake, IL.

The latest addition to Wichita State University’s aptly named Innovation Campus is, itself, a model of innovation – specifically, manufacturing innovation. Dubbed “The Smart Factory,” the structure features metal products from Petersen.

The Mastlight at Union Point, a LEED Silver Certified apartment building, contributed to the transformative redevelopment of the former South Weymouth Naval Air Station, in South Weymouth, Massachusetts. ATAS International's Versa-Lok metal panels in two colors, Titanium and Classic Bronze, manufactured in .040 aluminum, were selected for use on the project.

In the planning and construction of the Broad Street Self-Storage Facility in San Luis Obispo, CA, the focus was on community...and specifically how the project would fit into it. Thanks to the incorporation of metal roofing and wall panels from McElroy Metal for the project's design, the new business blends nicely into its surroundings.

Throughout his decades in construction, Jim St. George was known for his ability to solve problems and for the quality of his work. In the door industry, Schweiss Doors has that same reputation, so it's no real surprise that St. George was drawn to Schweiss when looking for doors for his newly renovated/expanded airplane hangar.

Piscataway, New Jersey, will now and forever be known as the home of a unique, one of a kind, residential net zero energy structure appropriately named “The Net Zero Home”. Designed and built as a pilot project by Suntuity Home (in partnership with Square Center LLC Architecture and Design and Englert Inc.) the nearly 6,000 square foot home was built with sustainability, energy efficiency and comfort in mind.

Elk Grove Village, IL, is offering facelift incentives to the owners of aging buildings within an industrial park developed in the 1960s. Architectural Panel Systems recently completed one of the first exterior upgrades, installing products fabricated by Sheet Metal Supply.

With a name that translates roughly from the Chippewa Ojibwe language as “live the good life,” the Mino-Bimaadiziwin apartment building in Minneapolis is helping 110 American Indian families, primarily from the Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians, do just that. The project was developed to address the housing shortage among the city’s American Indian citizens and provide added social support. Its façade features metal wall panels from Petersen.

The Austin E. Knowlton Center at Baldwin Wallace University is a 46,800 sq. ft. facility designed by architects at The Collaborative, Toledo, OH with input from various STEM industry experts. Besides meeting ambitious programmatic requirements, the architect created a fitting look for the new building through its incorporation of ACM panels from Laminators Inc. inside and out.

The $30 million renovation of the Essex County West Caldwell School of Technology in West Caldwell, NJ, included building a two-story addition to the front of the school, retrofitting existing space to accommodate current and new curriculum, and creating an outdoor courtyard. In addition to updates for classrooms, laboratories and the cafeteria, the exterior received a facelift, which included metal panels from CENTRIA.

As a severe thunderstorm rolled across the Arizona landscape, a microburst came crashing down from the sky in a blast of rain, hail and wind. One of the buildings in its blast path was Chandler Aviation. The damage to the building was extensive. Its hangar door was ruined. As part of the repairs, the building was outfitted with a new, stronger door from Schweiss Doors.

When great design meets great execution, projects like The Skating Club of Boston in Norwood, MA, are the end result. The ice arena’s dynamic design combines exterior-grade laminated wood paneling with 50,000 sq. ft. of high-efficiency Noroc and Norex-L insulated metal panels from Norbec to create an exterior envelope for the large building that is both attractive and energy efficient.

To say Galvion produces glasses would not do the company justice. Galvion “utilizes a robust design to deliver protective eyewear solutions that save lives” for use by the military and law enforcement. The company’s new manufacturing and office facility in Portsmouth, NH, constructed with insulated metal panels from Metl-Span, reflects that bold and durable design.

Tedlar® PVF film was selected as a protective roofing material for the Sea Crest Condos in Hilton Head, South Carolina in 2022. The project includes a 6-story building, constructed approximately 20 years prior, which sits directly on the beach of the Atlantic Ocean. The existing steel roof panels and framing of the building were severely corroded and the owner was looking for a long-term solution to withstand an extremely corrosive environment.

When Adam Hibbeler, equipment administrator at SAK Construction, O’Fallon, Mo., renovated his own home’s kitchen, he created a curved range hood with Flex-C Arch by Flex-Ability Concepts. The 86-year-old house has a Spanish style with many arches throughout the home, so Hibbeler's remodeling plan was to pull those arches into the kitchen.

The Mississippi Center for Emergency Services on the campus of the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson grew out of lessons learned from 2005's Hurricane Katrina. A new headquarters brings together multiple functions in a building that uses metal wall and roof panels from Petersen in multiple profiles to create visual interest in a budget-friendly design.

D.A. Craghead Construction Inc. of San Luis Obispo, CA was awarded 2nd Runner Up in American Buildings’ 2022 Excellence in Design Awards, in addition to 1st Place in the Commercial category, for the Rugged Radios project in Arroyo Grande, CA.

Zibi Block 211 is an eight-story “state-of-the-art, Class A office project” in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Alucoil’s larcore® panels played a significant role in the success of the project, helping the architect “perfectly achieve the expression we were looking for.”

The new Surrey Recycling and Waste Center in British Columbia opens its Schweiss Doors bifold liftstrap door to the public for easy disposal of recycling and waste products.

Just west of Denver, nestled among huge red sandstone monoliths in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, is the state’s most celebrated piece of architecture: Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Located in Morrison, CO, Red Rocks' iconic stage was recently outfitted with a larger protective roof form. During its installation, the roof was equipped with a snow retention system from S-5!.
