The reborn Smith Elementary is a near-twin of a second K-5 school, also recently opened, to replace a 70-year-old facility elsewhere in the region. Both schools feature identical floorplans, but designers with Pfluger Architects’ Austin office wanted to give each exterior unique identities, and metal wall panels offered a great option given the profile and color options now available.
Kingspan Insulated Panels North America announced it will be opening a new facility in Mattoon, Illinois. The new facility will manufacture Kingspan’s K-Roc™ products to help meet growing demand.
Brick, glass and insulated metal panels were used to achieve a modern design while connecting the building with its surrounding urban environment and the natural world outside.
The Metal Construction Association presented its annual Larry A. Swaney Award to Tom Seitz, and its first-ever Lifetime Achievement Award to industry legend Dick Bus.
The residences feature modern, premium finishes, while the building itself encompasses a rooftop deck offering endless views of Lake Michigan's shoreline and Chicago's iconic skyline.
All Weather Insulated Panels (AWIP) has introduced its enhanced Glimpse3D viewer with upgrades that now enable customers to better understand how the company’s insulated metal panels for wall and roof applications fit together.
Design Wall panels in three custom painted colors and in grey zinc (real zinc in 1mm thickness), and Versa-Lok panels in a custom painted color and in grey zinc were used on this project.
