Tiles Add to Aesthetics, Durability of Engineering Building
The University of Wisconsin-Platteville has long had a reputation for producing some of the Midwest’s top engineering students and aims to continue that success. The school’s plan is to have Sesquicentennial Hall “transform the way UW-Platteville educates the next generation of engineering leaders.”
Sesquicentennial Hall, which is connected to the existing Busby Hall of Engineering, is a 200,000-square-foot new structure, created to support interdisciplinary engineering and computer science. A key to the success of the project was the exterior aesthetics. Sheet Metal Supply provided 10,000 RHEINZINK-prePATINA ECO ZINC Flat Lock Tiles, covering 9,000 square feet of the façade.
