With nearly 10 acres under roof and 40,000 square feet of office space, FlightSafety International’s new facility in Broken Arrow, OK is massive. The equipment manufactured at the plant–aircraft flight simulators, visual systems and aeronautical displays–is high-tech. Fittingly, so is the building's look, thanks to little touches like the addition of Citadel ACM panels around the building's entrance.

Metal roofing may be the material of choice in Tampa, FL - largely due to its capability to withstand extreme wind loads. A new term, "hardening", has come to the surface that defines the strengthening of a building's envelope (roof and walls). One example is the Dow Electronics facility which recently went through a hardening of its roof and walls. For the roof, Roof Hugger, Inc. of Lutz, FL was used because of its product's capability to strengthen the existing roof purlins and to increase the new roof's wind speed exposure.

The leaders of MultiCare Good Samaritan Hospital in Puyallup, WA wanted the building’s architecture, operational structure and interior design to reflect their philosophy of putting the patient and family at the center of care. Opened in February 2011, the facility - featuring architectural metal products from CENTRIA - includes a slender nine-story tower that doubles the amount of available space, creating a 357,000 square foot facility situated at the top of a hill with sweeping views of the surrounding mountain ranges.

When the metal standing seam roof over one of the skilled nursing facilities at the at Oak Crest Retirement Village in Parkville, Maryland separated, allowing water to penetrate the building, administrators choose to embrace the recently established “green” culture of the retirement community. The failing roof was retrofitted with a standing seam system by The Garland Company, Inc., avoiding a tear off and subsequently reducing landfill waste.

A diagnosis of cancer always brings with it a certain level of worry and uncertainty. That's why the doctors group behind the new Highlands Oncology Group Cancer Treatment Center in Rogers, AR, wanted their building to create a pleasant, welcoming environment. To that end, the building needed to have just the right look. After all, first impressions are important and new patients want to feel like they are getting the best possible treatment. Through the specification of Citadel wall panels on the building’s exterior, the building succeeds at sending that message.

The Plainfield Fire Territory in Hendricks County, Indiana responds to more than 4,400 calls annually.

CENTRIA products were selected to complete this project for multiple reasons.

Inspired in 2002 by a mother’s dream of her departed 13-month old daughter, the Golisano Children’s Museum of Naples (nicknamed “C’Mon”) has been 10 years in the making.
