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.
In 2019, University of Cincinnati Health announced its $221 million Clifton Campus Revitalization project. The goal of the project is to create innovative environments that reflect the expertise and passion happening within its medical center every day.
On Demand: This course will review the standard and test methods for gutter systems that secure membrane on commercial low-slope roof systems for load resistance and why that is important for specifiers.
On-Demand: This course reviews building codes and standards regarding how to meet the continuous insulation requirements in steel stud building envelope designs, the benefits of using polyisocyanurate insulation in wall assemblies and how to specify it to meet these requirements for optimal energy performance and design efficiency.
On-Demand: Explore fundamental building science principles for the continuity of moisture, air, vapor, and thermal performance for commercial building enclosures.
On-Demand: This presentation will provide an introduction to the building science of these key four phenomena of building physics, the mechanism for how they work, and strategies for controlling their transport in assemblies.
On-Demand: This session will provide strategies for other cities struggling with sustainability addressing housing and transportation needs. Urban planners, architects, and policymakers will benefit most from this course.
On-Demand: This course will introduce participants to the fundamentals of prefabricated walls, and detail the features, benefits, and design considerations of Prefabricated EIFS-Clad Wall Assemblies.
On-Demand: This course will teach you about cold fluid-applied waterproofing systems which use specific types of chemistry to create an instant-setting, seamless membrane. Learn about their technical advantages, how these systems are installed, and the advantages of having full technical support during installation.
On-Demand Learn about the current and future MCM systems available in the market including how they can be added into rainscreens, and the importance of MCM Fabricator Certification.
This program will provide an overview of the roofing-related changes contained in the International Building Code, 2024 Edition. The newest edition to the building code incorporates notable changes in design wind load, occupiable rooftop, rooftop-mounted PV and reroofing provisions. Designers need to be aware of these changes and account for them in their designs.
