During the design phase, the project team needed an exterior cladding solution that could accommodate a fast-paced construction schedule, requiring material with a simple, fast installation. In addition, the team sought material that would seamlessly integrate with the glass curtainwall design, the facade’s defining feature.
Like every project, time and money were considerations when choosing building materials. Ultimately, insulated metal panels helped make their vision a reality.
For this project, Sunrise Erectors field verified the completed elevations for the panel releases and also released panels for elevations that needed to be constructed. Coordination with the construction manager was required and very important to hold the dimensions on new elevations that were constructed after the panel release.
The design goal of the project was to improve tenant comfort (lighting, circulation, accessibility) while strengthening the residential community and its identity.
The 108kW system is installed on the state-of-the-art George B. Duke Engineering and Information Technologies Building on the Pitt-Bradford campus in Bradford, Pennsylvania. Now operational, it is expected to produce 116,500 kWh of electricity each year, offsetting approximately 40% of the building’s total electricity use.
In creating a building befitting of the cutting-edge, high-tech research and cyber security programs taking place at the University of Texas at San Antonio National Security Collaboration Center, a combination of red brick, limestone masonry, metal and high-performance glass were selected for the modern façade.
Designed by STUDIOS Architecture, $100 million renovation of the landmarked mixed-use tower introduces new rooftop pavilion, retail offerings, large floor plates and direct access to the flourishing Union Square neighborhood.
Designing a $100 million, 256,000 square-foot, six-story building that serves both historic downtown Blacksburg, Virginia and Virginia Tech University was no easy feat for Hanbury Architects and developer, W.M. Jordan Company.
On the first day of the project, the 7-man crew installed 16 sheets – more than 25,000 square feet of membrane. There was a little learning curve, but they were able to improve productivity starting on day one.
These programs enable specialization within unique sectors of the industry, which empowers the Quito Fire Department and its team members to thrive.
