The Springfield Town Center in Springfield, Va., has welcomed its share of shoppers since opening in the early 1970s and was overdue for a renovation. Architects specified Envelope 2000 Metal Composite Material from Citadel Architectural Products for the project because of its durability as well as its appearance.
“Each retailer is responsible for its own storefront so we were responsible for the neutral or common areas of the renovation,” says Louis Margitan, RA, NCARB, senior associate at JPRA Architects in Farmington Hills, Mich. “Our job was to downplay to the retailers so their brands pop.”
