Award winners were announced by ATAS for their 2020 Project of the Year competition. Each award recognizes projects in which ATAS products have been incorporated into the design and construction of the building. Six project categories are included in the competition: commercial roofs, commercial walls, residential roofs, residential walls, accents, and interiors. First, second, and third place winners in each category were chosen by an independent panel of judges, comprised of ATAS advisory board members.
The Riverview Branch Library in Riverview, FL received the first-place honors for commercial roofs. Field-Lok panels in Dove Grey .040 aluminum were used on this project. The 2” high standing seam panels provided a perfect platform over which solar panels were installed. The long service life of the metal roof panels will far outlast the life expectancy of the solar panels. Standing seam metal panels provide a natural platform for attaching crystalline systems without any roof penetrations. The building was designed by FleischmanGarcia Architecture, and the metal roof panels were installed by Alpha Roofing and Sheet Metal. The panels were purchased through Beacon Building Products.
