Featured Projects

Located in Pickering, Ontario, the Pickering Town Centre was renovated in 2009 and re-imaged using a unifying “leaf motif”. Featured at the six entrances of the shopping center, as well as on the interior elevator, ALPOLIC ACM panels were chosen to highlight the new additions.

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.

A new segment of the multi-phase construction plan for the Annoor Islamic High School in Wichita, Kansas included metal building framing, metal roofing and metal wall panels from Varco Pruden Buildings.

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. To provide better response throughout the Territory’s 45-square-mile service area, the agency recently constructed Fire Station 123. The 23,000 square foot facility is both functional and attractive, with an exterior design that utilizes three styles of insulated metal panel systems from Metl-Span.

Chemeketa Community College recently underwent $38.2 million of renovations that focused mainly on Building 8 of the college’s Health Sciences Complex in Salem, OR. The 74,00 square foot project revamped the facilities that house training space and equipment for nursing, dental hygiene and pharmacy technology students. CENTRIA products were selected to complete this project for multiple reasons.

Originally built in 1978, the South Florida Community College (SFCC) Theatre for the Performing Arts received a complete renovation, reopening in 2010. Now seating 1460 people, the interior glows with the contrast of brass architectural mesh panels–created with woven mesh by Cambridge Architectural–against red velvet trim and upholstery.

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. Ground for the museum was broken in 2009, and in February 2012 dreams became real as the doors of this unique facility opened to the public. Among the many materials and forms incorporated into the building's whimsical design was colorful curved metal roofing from IMETCO.

In January 2012, the 1,200 students of Virginia Beach’s Great Neck Middle came back from winter break to receive one last gift – a new school. Completed in December 2011, the over $35 million dollar project consists of a three-story building employing sustainable materials, the newest technologies, and an aesthetically appealing structural design. Among the materials used to give the building its modern look are ALPOLIC ACM aluminum composite wall panels from Mitsubishi Plastics Composites America.

The shingled roof of the Community United Methodist Church in Circleville, Ohio had been leaking in multiple areas for years, despite repeated temporary repair attempts. The congregation, frustrated with the constant leaking, rallied together to raise money for a more permanent solution which included standing seam metal from The Garland Company, Inc.

The Western Mental Health Institute is a 150-bed facility, comprised of six 25-bed units, using a “treatment mall” setup where patients spend most of their time each day in a collaborative classroom atmosphere. Here, they receive counseling, medication management, case management and other psychiatric inpatient services without unnecessary transportation to multiple facilities. The new building – featuring metal products by CENTRIA - is located adjacent to its historical predecessor in Bolivar, TN.

A new three-building project for the City of Tucson Water Department provides office and warehouse space, along with a shop facility. Totaling 21,127 sq. ft., the buildings feature metal systems from Star Building Systems. The project earned LEED Silver Certification.

The newest addition to the University of Calgary campus in Calgary, Alberta, Canada is the Taylor Family Digital Library. It houses over 9 million assets including 32,000 print monographs, over 1 million maps and aerial photographs, and 847,461 architectural drawings, amongst its wealth of resources. The innovative and sustainable educational center is incomparable to any other facility in North America and competes on a global scale in its support of research and learning. The building’s design incorporates a stainless steel mesh façade by Cambridge Architectural of Cambridge, MD.

The renovation and expansion of the Akron City Hospital Emergency Department adds 85,000 sq. ft. of space with 44 beds and 10 triage rooms. Akron City Hospital, a member of Summa Health System, is a Level 1 Trauma Center. Approximately 15,000 linear feet of 3 5/8”, 20 gauge Flex-C Trac and 1,200 linear feet of 20 gauge Flex-C Angle were used to frame prominent radiuses and soffits for the Akron, OH project.

Davie West is a joint-use facility shared by Florida Atlantic University (FAU) and the University of Florida (UF). The $24.5 million project – utilizing architectural metal products from CENTRIA - was designed to enhance classroom learning and research in the sciences, arts, and humanities by combining state-of-the-art classrooms, research labs and office space into a single facility.

The turtle has long been used as a metaphor in Native American philosophy for the continual cycle of give and take that personifies the natural world. When the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina constructed the Lumbee Tribal Housing Complex in West Pembroke, they wanted a building that would evoke that symbolism. Metal roofing from The Garland Co., Inc. covers the facility.

The new Bells Mill Elementary School in Potomac, MD is designed to encourage a flexible approach to education that accommodates changing programs, interdisciplinary teaching methods and efficient, cost-effective use of space. Featured on the school are approximately 18,000 sq. ft. of 12” x 1.5” aluminum PAC-CLAD Snap-On Batten metal wall panels and 2,500 sq. ft. of PAC-850 Soffit Panels by Petersen. Colors included Hemlock Green, Colonial Red, Sandstone and Slate Gray.

When it comes to working buildings, it’s tough to beat the pre-engineered metal building approach to construction. Metal buildings go up quickly and economically, and offer the flexibility to meet even the most precise design requirements. The recently completed Rosedale Transport building in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada serves as prime example. The 40,000 sq. ft. project was completed in November 2011 after 10 months of construction, utilizing a metal building system and components from Robertson Building Systems.

Durable metal panels from Metal Sales Manufacturing Corporation elegantly reroof a private residence in Elizabethtown, KY. Nestled at the end of a residential street in rural Elizabethtown – one hour south of Louisville – stands the Keith residence. The Keiths, frustrated with the short lifespan of asphalt shingles, were looking for a more sustainable and sensible roofing option. This led them to choose long-lasting standing seam metal roof panels.
