This structure for Bastoni Vineyards in Santa Rosa, CA measures 35’ wide x 60’ long x 24’ high with a 2,100 sq. ft. metal roof installed on a 4:12 slope. A Star Building Systems metal building was chosen for its economy, low maintenance and durability and also the ability to achieve the clear span and height requirements.

The Waukesha Iron & Metal Recycling Center, located in Waukesha, Wisconsin, has been a family-owned and operated business since 1956. The recent addition of an automobile shredder presented construction challenges due to the unique nature of the project. Those challenges were overcome by the owners and their design/construction team, with the help of metal building systems from Metallic Building Company.

In January 2012, work was completed on a much-needed upgrade to Canada’s Prescott Border Crossing into the United States. The renovations will help the facility, which was originally constructed in 1960, better meet the needs of the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). To help match the facility’s aesthetics with its new modernity, the architectural firm in charge of the project, Farrow Architects Inc. of Ottawa, Ontario, turned to ALPOLIC aluminum composite material.

Archetto Construction, Inc. of Vineland, New Jersey completed a commercial reroof project in nearby Millville in March 2011 by installing 40,500 sq. ft. of new 24-gauge Star Building Systems standing seam roofing over the existing roof, supported by standard Roof Hugger Model “C” factory-notched sub-purlins.

As one of 11 artists selected by the San Antonio River Foundation to enhance the beauty of their city’s iconic River Walk, Stuart Allen selected a stainless steel wire mesh manufactured by Banker Wire, Milwaukee, Wisconsin as his medium to apply his artistic expression.

The original, 30-year-old metal roof over the Administration Building at Reid State Technical College in Evergreen, AL was damaged by Hurricane Ivan in 2004, causing leaks. The leaking had become progressively worse in recent years, prompting College administrators to explore roof replacement options – which eventually led to the use of standing seam metal roofing from The Garland Company Inc.

A 2005 evaluation of Archbishop MacDonald High School in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada found both functional and cosmetic problems with the school’s 40-year-old exterior wall system.

The panels were fabricated from ALPOLIC material and installed using VICWEST’s System 3 attachment system.

The Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento lays claim to being the oldest continuously operating museum in the Western United States. Yet the museum's best days may be ahead, thanks in part an ambitious renovation and expansion plan that saw 100,000 sq. ft. of new space added. Juxstaposed with the Crocker Art Gallery, family mansion and various additions through the years, the new volume is itself a modern work of art. It is clad with aluminum plate panels and Flat-Lock panels from RHEINZINK America Inc.

Back in 2005, Bridgestone officials began exploring the idea of converting one of the original Firestone campus buildings into a new state-of-the-art technology center at the Akron, Ohio campus.

Modern through and through, the building is clad with InvariMatte® stainless steel by Contrarian Metal Resources.

As part of the “Building A Better Denver” Bond Program, the new Denver Eastside Human Services facility serves qualifying applicants residing in the eastern portions of the city.

Dating back to 1926, the Sarasota Yacht Club offers a high-profile waterfront location that is inviting to members and tropical storms alike. The club’s new 22,000 sq. ft. building is built up and replaces an on-grade structure that frequently bore the brunt of storms. The new roof is built to Florida Building Code negative wind uplift pressures of 130 mph and utilizes 23,000 sq. ft. of .040” aluminum PAC-CLAD Tite-Loc Plus panels by Petersen Aluminum.

Company officials describe the new building as one of the most energy efficient in Northeast Indiana.

This stunning 67,844 sq. ft. government building for the U.S. General Services Administration, located in the Mesa del Sol community of Albuquerque, NM, combines parking and storage space on the ground floor and offices on the second floor.

Alcoa Architectural Products’ (AAP) Reynobond Aluminum Composite Material (ACM) helped make it possible to achieve the dramatically sloping façade of the award-winning Seidman Cancer Center. Located in Cleveland, Ohio, the Center is designated by the National Cancer Institute as a Comprehensive Cancer Center. The Cancer Center was designed according to the U.S. Green Building Council’s (USGBC) Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) green building principles, and is registered for certification.

The practical goal of the new $61-million 21-story Student Residence Hall at Massachusetts College of Art and Design (MassArt) in Boston may have been to provide 145,600 square feet of on-campus accommodations for 493 students for its opening in the fall of 2012. But the unique design of the new Residence Hall - which is clad in 5,500 Alucobond® Plus aluminum composite panels - has met an aesthetic goal to set the building apart on the Boston skyline.

The 58,000 square foot, $23.5 million Niagara Warehouse and Office Complex in Lewiston, New York was designed to store materials, supplies and equipment in support of the project’s 2,441-megawatt hydroelectric operation.

MetFab's custom metal craftsmanship played a key part of the creation of the Village at Odenton Station, a new apartment and retail center. This exciting project undoubtedly brought new challenges that MetFab conquered in order to complete this brilliant new addition to Odenton, MD.

Sometimes it’s the little things that count. Case in point is the Sorensen Station Parkade and Transit Terminal in Red Deer, Alberta, Canada. The design of the three-story parking deck was elevated significantly by the incorporation of a relatively small amount of 4mm-thick Prismatic-finish ALPOLIC/fr aluminum composite material (ACM). Burnt orange-colored Prismatic-finish ACM panels trim the structure’s curved rooftop canopy while multiple colors of Prismatic-finish panels adorn the parking structure’s sidewalls.

The City of Brampton located in the Region of Peel near Toronto, Ontario, Canada has experienced rapid growth in recent years, averaging a population increase of 20,000 people per year for several years.

Roofing materials from The Garland Company Inc. played a prominent role in the project.

Union Presbyterian Seminary in Richmond, Virginia is a study in conservative Protestant history. From the outside, the red brick Tudor Revival buildings reflect their historical surroundings while the interiors reflect growth, change and development.

To help turn it into a state-of-the-art environment for teaching and worship, Glavé & Holmes turned to GKD-USA.
