Seattle Opera’s New HQ Hits High Note with Metal Panels
Seattle Opera opened the doors to its new headquarters in December of 2018. As a glass-clad building, people walking by the new Opera Center can get a glimpse into the inner-workings of the building’s activities, whether that’s a lecture or employees working in the costume room. However, a passerby would have no idea how much metal is used in the building.
More than 44,000 square feet of Kingspan KarrierPanels serve as a rainscreen for a variety of cladding in Seattle Opera’s headquarters. Designed by NBBJ architects, the $60 million facility encompasses 105,000 square feet across four stories.
