One of the largest hospitals in the Chicago area, Advocate Lutheran General Hospital is a 617-bed teaching, research and referral hospital, a Level I trauma center and home to Lutheran General Children’s Hospital, the only children’s hospital in the city’s northwest suburbs.

The roof and its integrated curved wall were created using a combination of site-formed and shop-fabricated Kalzip 65/400 panels.

In the post-9/11 era, border crossings have changed dramatically. The outdated 1960’s plaza infrastructure at the Queenston-Lewiston Bridge across the Niagara Gorge, one of Canada’s busiest border crossings, had far outlived its effectiveness. Charged with creating a new crossing complex–at a cost of approximately $30 million–was Moriyama & Teshima Architects, Toronto. Among the low-maintenance, environmentally friendly products it chose as claddings for the new administration building and portions of the new toll plazas was RHEINZINK® Graphite Gray zinc.
