Cleveland, OH - The Metal Building Manufacturers Association (MBMA) has added another title to its library of free, downloadable resources for architectural students and their professors. Haulover Marine Center is the latest publication in MBMA’s Architectural Significance in Metal Buildings folio series of in-depth project case studies.

“The Haulover Marine Center folio adds to MBMA’s growing list of metal building design resources for architectural students and faculty,” said Tony Bouquot, MBMA general manager. “As we continue to engage with the educational community to highlight the possibilities of metal building systems, we are excited to introduce these unique projects to the next generation of architects and designers.”
