In the late 1990s, a changed mission and substantial growth called for the conversion and expansion of the Helena Aviation Readiness Center’s relatively new attack battalion armory. After two decades in waiting, that project finally got the green light. Completed in August 2017, the new building now meets the current needs of the Montana Army National Guard and, thanks to the inclusion of metal wall panels from Citadel Architectural Products, conforms to the federal government’s high standards for sustainable construction.

The Islais Creek Motor Coach Maintenance & Operations Facility truly redefined the meaning of a long-term project. The design of the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency’s new facilities was initiated in 1990. Phase I of the project was completed in 2013. Phase II, which features metal roof and wall panels from IMETCO, was completed in 2018.

Located in New York City’s South Street Seaport, Pier 17 anchors an extensive redevelopment project that is focused on transforming the historic Lower Manhattan neighborhood into a thriving cultural, retail and entertainment center. Yet, for PPG and Spectrum Metal Finishing, the project is serving a secondary purpose: as the proving ground for New York City’s first application of PPG Duranar® powder coatings in a challenging marine environment.

When founded in 1952, the master plan for Indian Springs School in Birmingham, Ala., called for campus development to maintain focus on the lake at the center of the school’s wooded 350-acre property. During the past 30 years, however, focus was lost, so a new plan was made to demolish then construct buildings - featuring metal roofing from Petersen - that re-establish a connection to the lake.

CENTRIA metal panels helped provide a design solution for the new home of NASA’s Johnson Space Center (JSC) Biomedical Research & Environmental Sciences Division, a facility responsible for enhancing and studying astronaut and human health. Approximately 20,600 square feet of Concept Series single-skin rainscreen panels clad a portion of the building’s exterior.
