Schenkel Shultz announced the completion of Daytona State College’s newest academic facility on its Deltona campus. Led by Schenkel Shultz Partner Ekta Desai and Architect Patrick Rauch, this multidisciplinary laboratory and academic center will enhance career pathways for students in healthcare and high-tech manufacturing.

In order to achieve a kid-friendly, yet modern aesthetic, insulated metal panels (IMPs) were selected as the building envelope. IMPs offer excellent design flexibility.

Across Belmont University's Tennessee campus, Tubelite curtainwall, storefront and entrance systems help convey a campus-wide aesthetic that complements the functionality and personality of each space.

To accommodate the growing need of services for the community, the city constructed a new 40,000-square-foot public safety building to house its central fire station, fire administration, police headquarters and municipal court. Zinc panels were an integral part of the design goals and ultimate success of the new facility.

To minimize the resulting effect of full sun on the south side of the building, the project team introduced sunshades along the lengths of 13 floors. Each 100 foot-long sunshade, however, presented a potential thermal bridge where it attaches to the interior building slabs via steel brackets. The team avoided the problem by specifying structural thermal breaks.

The architects at Perkins and Will envisioned a modern and distinctive façade for Union on 24th. Their objective was to deliver a finished look that was both elegant and low-maintenance, and on time.

Located in the Short North Arts District of Columbus, OH, is GreenHouse Short North, a new seven-story, mixed-use development with 158 units. The exterior features approximately 64,000 square feet of Omega-Lite® by Laminators Incorporated.

Integrating daylighting devices reduced energy consumption and maximized natural light. By replacing the traditional clerestories used in the first two regional libraries with Solatube TDDs and acrylic panels, a visually striking skylight effect was achieved, enhancing both aesthetics and sustainability.

Reoccurring roof leaks were becoming a problem with the original standing seam metal roof at this hub of activity. The project required 4,600 linear feet of Roof Hugger’s Model T, a 4-1/2-inch-tall sub-purlin for typical 24-inch on-center rib trapezoidal standing seam panel.
