The Prince Frederick Volunteer Fire Department has been a significant part of life in Prince Frederick, Md., for more than 90 years. So, when it came time to replace the aging structure that housed the organization’s Company 2 and its equipment, community was at the heart of the designers’ plans. Topping the new firehouse is a classic standing-seam metal roof from Petersen that promises to perform just as well as it looks.

Industrial recycling services provider Parallel Products is in the business of helping other companies be more green. But it has green goals of its own, and the addition of a 1.9 MW rooftop solar array on a newly constructed bottle recycling facility in New Bedford, MA, helps in that regard. The solar panels are arrayed on more than 150,000 sq. ft. of standing seam metal roofing, attached with PV attachment products from Colorado-based S-5!.

Utilized for the facility's exterior envelope and interior walls are insulated metal panels from Kingspan Insulated Panels North America.

The first-place winner in ATAS International’s 2021 project of the year competition in the commercial walls category is a Dunkin’ shop in Cottonwood, AZ. Four colors of CastleTop were incorporated into this unique façade design - Black, Chocolate Brown, Sierra Tan, and Almond - as a nod to the various shades of coffee that is served in this shop.

The new Northwest Independent School District Aquatic Center in Fort Worth, Texas features striking reflective metal tiles by Petersen that stretch across the façade, serving as a background for the building’s main signage. Their aqua-toned reflective hue creates the appearance of ripples across the wall, like one might see in a pool filled with swimmers.

A perfect match of the school colors was a must, and it was its ability to offer such precision that led an Oklahoma-based composite metal panel contractor to suggest Laminators Inc. for Oklahoma State University's new North Hall Academic Facility.

There's nothing old school or low-tech about Northern Arizona's new 72,000 sq. ft., $47 million Student-Athlete Performance Center.

Brian and Bruce Frank have five Schweiss Doors bifold doors in use on their two farms near Olivia and Bird Island, MN, and they couldn’t be happier with any other style of door on the market. The Franks’ farm is 1,600 acres, growing corn, soybeans, sugar beets, sweetcorn, peas, navy beans and some wheat. The Franks also perform some custom sugar beet harvesting for area farmers.

The American Hockey League's Henderson Silver Knights team has a new practice facility in downtown Henderson, Nevada to go with a new home game facility. Called Lifeguard Arena, the structure features a dynamic façade design that makes good use of the bold imagery that metal panels from Petersen's PAC-CLAD line can bring to building exteriors.

Staying connected and building community are central to the culture of the Gila River Indian Community in Sacaton, Ariz. The recently built 48,577-square-foot Gila River Indian Community District 3 multipurpose building gives the community an opportunity to express its values and gather in a central location. Curves, reflecting the spatial elements of time, life and wellness, were created with Flex-C Trac from Flex-Ability Concepts.

From a medical facilities standpoint, the new $58 million, 58,000 sq. ft. Orthopedic Hospital for Parkview Health Systems in Pueblo, Colorado is state of the art.

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.

Cladding those cabins is zinc, manufactured by RHEINZINK America and supplied by Sheet Metal Supply Ltd. of Grayslake, IL.

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.
