Culinary Arts Program Expands to a New State-of-the-Art Place
Food and cooking have never been so popular with the proliferation of cooking shows and food-related channels. Those who feel called into the culinary world have many educational options, including Houston Community College’s Culinary Arts Program. Established in 1982, the program has consistently grown every year, requiring a new state-of-the-art space. Aesthetics and durability in a rainscreen system influenced the design team of Stanec, Houston, to select Dri-Design’s Shadow Series panels for the HCC Culinary Arts building.
McIntosh Wood and Metal Works, Fort Worth, Texas, installed 10,000 square feet of painted Shadow Series panels in Silver and Cityscape colors. Shadow Series panels allow depth and dimension to be added to any architectural design. Individual panels can be extended at varying depths to create texture or a dynamic variation in patterns while keeping the substrate and weather barrier in the same plane.
