Chicago, IL - The Metal Construction Association (MCA) has launched a new website, which premiers MCA Metal University, a comprehensive online resource for architects, contractors, code officials, manufacturers and building owners looking to increase their knowledge of metal building materials.

“We are excited to introduce the new website and MCA Metal University,” says Jeff Henry, MCA’s executive director, “We aim to be the go-to source for all things in metal construction.” 

Other features of the MCA website are enhanced search tools for finding case studies, metal building photos and a “find a supplier” tool. The case studies section features hundreds of industry articles searchable by market, product type, location, and more. The events section gives users updates and registration access for the winter and summer meetings, METALCON, and industry events. The expanded photo gallery features high-quality examples of completed metal building projects and lets users perform granular searches based on market, location, and metal type. The suppliers section allows users to quickly locate reputable member companies in their area based on project type, supplier role, and material.
