Metalworks of Chicago of Arlington Heights, Ill., installed just more than 18,200 square feet ofbuilding envelope system as part of the McHenry West High School three-story, 64,000-square-foot renovation and addition.
The profile of specific components, their configuration or sequencing, can vary with the roof system, climatic differences, and regional or area practices.
The desire to use metal wall panels was identified early in the process by the design team to reflect the transitioning neighborhood’s industrial roots.
The wall system was custom-designed to uphold the project's exact aesthetic goals, engineered to meet the performance and sustainability requirements, and fabricated to ensure fast, smooth and accurate installation.
Designed by AUX Architecture, this adaptive reuse project repurposed a 1965 temple renovating the original building and its congregational space into a 300-seat theater.
