As a severe thunderstorm rolled across the Arizona landscape, a microburst came crashing down from the sky in a blast of rain, hail and wind. One of the buildings in its blast path was Chandler Aviation. The damage to the building was extensive. Its hangar door was ruined. As part of the repairs, the building was outfitted with a new, stronger door from Schweiss Doors.

When great design meets great execution, projects like The Skating Club of Boston in Norwood, MA, are the end result. The ice arena’s dynamic design combines exterior-grade laminated wood paneling with 50,000 sq. ft. of high-efficiency Noroc and Norex-L insulated metal panels from Norbec to create an exterior envelope for the large building that is both attractive and energy efficient.

To say Galvion produces glasses would not do the company justice. Galvion “utilizes a robust design to deliver protective eyewear solutions that save lives” for use by the military and law enforcement. The company’s new manufacturing and office facility in Portsmouth, NH, constructed with insulated metal panels from Metl-Span, reflects that bold and durable design.

Tedlar® PVF film was selected as a protective roofing material for the Sea Crest Condos in Hilton Head, South Carolina in 2022.

The existing steel roof panels and framing of the building were severely corroded and the owner was looking for a long-term solution to withstand an extremely corrosive environment.

When Adam Hibbeler, equipment administrator at SAK Construction, O’Fallon, Mo., renovated his own home’s kitchen, he created a curved range hood with Flex-C Arch by Flex-Ability Concepts. The 86-year-old house has a Spanish style with many arches throughout the home, so Hibbeler's remodeling plan was to pull those arches into the kitchen.

The Mississippi Center for Emergency Services on the campus of the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson grew out of lessons learned from 2005's Hurricane Katrina. A new headquarters brings together multiple functions in a building that uses metal wall and roof panels from Petersen in multiple profiles to create visual interest in a budget-friendly design.

Just west of Denver, nestled among huge red sandstone monoliths in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, is the state’s most celebrated piece of architecture: Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Located in Morrison, CO, Red Rocks' iconic stage was recently outfitted with a larger protective roof form. During its installation, the roof was equipped with a snow retention system from S-5!.

The owners of Spring Creek Ranch, near Jackson Hole, Wyoming, embarked on the new construction of 15 buildings located on the resort property during the spring of 2022.

The Wentzville School District is one of Missouri's fastest growing, averaging more than 600 new students a year. School construction is nearly constant, with low maintenance and longevity at the fore of each new building's design. The latest structure, Journey Elementary School, continues that trend, featuring long-lasting metal roofing from McElroy Metal.

Kentucky’s LEED Gold-certified, award-winning Louisville Free Public Library (LFPL) Northeast Regional Branch features naturally sustainable RHEINZINK-prePATINA® graphite-grey zinc exterior wall cladding. Designed by JRA Architects and MSR Design, the newly constructed, 40,000-square-foot facility serves 170,000 people in eastern Jefferson County as more than an information center.

Curtis Lemieux is a successful business owner and an accomplished pilot. He flies for both business and pleasure, keeping his plane in his newly renovated mancave/hangar at the Prince Albert Airport in Saskatchewan. The hangar has many bells and whistles including a pair of hydraulic hangar doors from Schweiss Doors.

The Winn Science Center at St. Mark’s School of Texas has become a signpost of the high quality of the new and upgraded buildings, with its classic copper roof and dome serving as signature design elements for the upscale campus – and they’ve also proved to be models of survivability in the face of severe weather. Petersen supplied more than 16,000 sq. ft. of its Snap-Clad panels in 16-oz. copper for use in flat roof portions of the project.

When it came time to erect a new office building, Kevin Johnson, owner of Rhoads and Johnson, a design/build construction firm in Fenton, MI, decided to stick to what he does best. That's why he framed the building with a metal building system from Butler Manufacturing and clad the structure with insulated metal panels from Metl-Span.
