Site Transforms into Community Center for All Ages
The power of a community center is dependent on the initiative of the community and the performance of the center. In Presque Isle, Maine, the Sargent Family Community Center is a recent addition that has changed how the community gathers, plays and develops. The new center, which replaces a smaller 1940’s structure in need of renovations, welcomes residents from the moment the building is in sight. Something grabbing their attention is the metal wall panels, Panel 20® by Citadel Architectural Products.
Hahnel Bros Co., Bangor, Maine, installed 9,600 square feet of Panel 20 with champagne anodized and clear anodized finishes. Panel 20 is a two-piece aluminum molding system with a durable, 0.075-inch thermoset phenolic resin core. The system measures 7/16 of an inch from the face of the substrate to the face of the moldings. Panel 20 is designed to be completely sealed to keep all moisture away from the structure. The dense, hard phenolic core offers extra protection against dents and dings. The raised profile creates an accent shadow to give buildings depth and an added design feature. A Kynar 500® coating is standard, and custom colors are always an option.
