Canco General Contractors Inc. of Plant City, FL used Continuous Beam and custom steel framing by Varco Pruden Buildings to create the St. Luke's Health And Wellness Center in Lakeland, FL. The 15,200 sq. ft. healthcare facility was designed by Johnson, Cartwright & Jarman Architects of Tampa, FL.

Although situated on a cul de sac with four neighboring homes designed by the same architect, the “contemporary farmhouse” style of the private residence in Burr Ridge, Ill., makes it unique. The owners of the 5,000-sq.-ft. residence voiced a desire that their new residence have a farmhouse look with a metal roof, so their architect created a unique design using Snap-Clad panels by Petersen.

The exterior of the 915,000 sq. ft. Riviera Shopping Mall and Entertainment Center in Podolsk, Russia bears resemblance to the neighboring Pakhra River, which served as a source of design inspiration for the project. Luminous Alucobond® aluminum composite panels from 3A Composites USA envelop the building’s exterior. The panels are finished with a high-performance paint formulated using LUMIFLON® FEVE resin technology from AGC Chemicals America.

A curved roof form, meticulously crafted from RHEINZINK America's CLASSIC bright rolled titanium zinc, provides elegance to the exterior design of the new Vaughan Metropolitan Centre Subway Station in Vaughan, Ontario, Canada. In addition to its contribution to the building's beauty and stature, the zinc roof contributes to the facility's overall sustainability.

It was built in hopes of encouraging students to stay and utilize resources on campus. If the building’s appearance plays any role in such decisions, then surely the goal has been met. Clad in brick, the North Academic Classroom building on the McAllen campus of South Texas College is made more inviting by the presence of colorful Thermolite ACM panels from Laminators Inc.
