Exterior Claddings

The project’s design faced a unique set of challenges due to the compact size and its proximity to the imposing 9 West 57^th Street. Rather than compete in scale, Hill West focused on creating a building that was whimsical and elegant. 

To help the residentially oriented façades disappear behind landscaping, designers opted for architectural metal cladding.

The project’s architect, R2L Architects, required an exterior cladding material that would create a visually captivating façade while also delivering design flexibility and an expedited construction schedule.

The architects opted to use insulated metal panels (IMPs) for the 36,000 square-foot expansion, which brought the distribution center to approximately 225,000 square feet.

When Ohio’s Memorial Health System planned a medical campus for Athens, OH, a rural community in Southeastern Ohio, the organization sought a more expedited process. Memorial Health System coordinated with Modlogiq Inc., a modular fabricator, to more swiftly construct the Athens Medical Campus.

Glenn Piotrowski Architect opted to use insulated metal panels (IMPs) on both buildings due to their design flexibility and thermal efficiency benefits. 31,000 square-feet of IMPs Installed by Frost Building Systems, Inc. gave the building a sleek, modern aesthetic.

Just as wearing light-colored clothing can help keep a person cool on a sunny day, cool walls with solar-reflective surfaces can help to maintain lower temperatures on a building’s surface. 

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.

The cladding products are fabricated from a Select Structural Grade Doug Fir core with a choice of three different face-veneer options.
