Ray Cook is a retired American Airlines pilot of 40 years, who now winters in Lake Placid, Fla., and spends his summer days at his home in Spring Grove, Ill. He has Schweiss Doors bifold liftstrap doors on hangars at both locations.

Sometimes in roofing, it's okay to just roll with it. In Garland representative Jason Moronnolte’s case, field roll-forming steel panels on site was the perfect solution to conquer the tight barrel curved roof on the Matilija Junior High School Gymnasium in Ojai, California.

Set on a 90-acre woodland overlooking the Tennessee River, McDonough House is the first new structure in more than 30 years built at Loghaven Artist Residency in Knoxville, Tennessee.

The material is a product of RHEINZINK America Inc., Woburn, MA.

The 115,000-square-foot Concourse D at Nashville International Airport opened in July 2020 with six new aircraft gates for domestic travelers. The new terminal has the latest traveler amenities but that's only the half of it. The terminal is also LEED® Silver certified, thanks in part to the use of insulated metal panels from Kingspan Insulated Panels North America for its construction.

PrairieCare Medical Group opened its 10th facility in Rochester, Minnesota in late 2019. A primary design emphasis was on providing plentiful natural daylight, which is made evident from the front façade’s extensive glazing. To frame the glazing and add some calming counterpoint to that elevation’s pattern and color, designers opted for neutral-toned metal flush and relief wall panels from Petersen.

Andrew and Carri Ann Mueller of Palmer, Alaska, live in a pilot’s dream home. In addition to having a spectacular view of nearby Pioneer Peak, the residence has a hangar out behind it, with direct runway access. When it’s time to get the planes out or put them away, the couple can count on their Schweiss Doors bifold liftstrap door to make it easy.

Donated time and materials made possible the construction of the Central Pennsylvania Clinic, a non-profit medical home for special children and adults. But that doesn't mean it isn't built right. The clinic is topped with a long-lasting metal roof that's equipped with one of the best snow retention systems on the market: ColorGard from S-5!.

Collectors eventually want to display their collection. A classic car enthusiast wanted a state-of-the-art facility in the Adirondack Mountains of New York; a “green” building to showcase his stable of Fords and Packards. To help the facility be energy efficient, insulated metal panels (IMPs) from Metl-Span were chosen for the roofing and walls.

A growing presence at the right time can mean so much to a company. CrownAir Aviation, a full-service fixed base operator (FBO) at Montgomery Executive Airport, has learned this during its 70-year history. CrownAir Aviation recently added an FBO office and two hangars to its site. One entrance to the office building features a curved arch created with Flex-C Trac and Flex-C Angle from Flex-Ability Concepts.

Based in the county seat of Sevierville, Tennessee, the Sevier County Utility District serves more than 14,000 customers in Sevier and adjacent Blount counties.

Featured prominently are a variety of metal panels by Petersen.

With a desire to bring city agencies to a modern centralized location, the City of San Marcos, Texas, constructed nine buildings on a single site. A consistent design element throughout the new Public Service Complex was metal roofing, wall panels and components from MBCI.

The Amelia Earhart Hangar Museum in Atchison, KS, houses a rare replica of the plane Earhart flew. What is not a replica is the hangar's door. It was manufactured for the project by Schweiss Doors of Fairfax, MN. The star attraction is the last surviving Lockheed Electra 10-E airplane, one of only 14 ever made. It is identical to the aircraft Earhart flew on her fateful journey and attempt to be the first woman to ever circumnavigate the world.

The addition at McHenry West High School in McHenry, Ill., became necessary with the consolidation of 10th through 12th graders at the west campus.

The Bricklayers Local 5 of Valley View, Ohio, knew what it was getting into when purchasing a property with two existing buildings, both with failing asphalt shingle roofs. The union’s first order of business after acquiring the buildings was to solve the roofing problem with a more permanent solution and ultimately selected the McElroy Metal 138T symmetrical standing seam system.

Those who feel called into the culinary world have many educational options, including Houston Community College’s Culinary Arts Program. Established in 1982, the program has consistently grown every year, requiring a new state-of-the-art space.
