Featured Projects

The Spring of 2011 will be remembered for severe storms that occurred throughout North America. In April, violent winds swirled throughout southwestern Ontario, pulling down trees and ripping shingles off many asphalt roofs. One of the countless structures damaged that month was the Lions Club-sponsored cabin at the Camp Trillium Childhood Cancer Support Centre. The cabin was repaired by installing a new metal roof from VICWEST.

An extension of the Hilldale Baptist Church, the Hilldale Baptist Church Family Life Center in Clarksville, Tennessee was designed for recreation and fellowship.

CENTRIA’s Versawall panels and Formawall Dimension Series products were selected for use on the project.

The Santa Rosa, CA, Hilton Garden Inn is located approximately one mile from the new Sonoma County Airport.

In addition to a few prized vestiges of the historic hotel that formerly occupied the site, the new Robert F. Kennedy Community Schools K-12 complex in Los Angeles is comprised of three grade-level buildings designed as part of a cohesive campus.

The Connecticut Science Center engages everyone who walks through its doors, capturing the excitement and wonder of science, as well as embodying the region’s commitment to education and cultural enrichment.

The Timberline Learning Center is the new childcare facility designed to provide affordable, quality care for 60 full-time children in the town of Breckenridge, CO. Since a nearby childcare center was closing soon, scheduling became a top priority for everyone involved with the project.

With the project priorities in mind, Omega-Lite, an aluminum composite panel manufactured by Laminators Inc., was selected as one of the exterior cladding materials for the facility.

One of the amenities of the renovated Constitution Center office building in Washington, DC is a one-acre garden courtyard designed to provide relaxation space for tenants.
