Design Wall panels in three custom painted colors and in grey zinc (real zinc in 1mm thickness), and Versa-Lok panels in a custom painted color and in grey zinc were used on this project.
Speed of build during the construction process was important to reach MU’s target open date for the 2023 season. Because of this, insulated metal panels (IMPs) were used for the building envelope.
When installing solar panels (typically warranted for 25 years of power generation), a building owner benefits from a roofing substrate that has a greater life expectancy than the solar panels. The solar panels can be installed to the metal panel seams using special clamps, without any roof penetrations.
With the design plan by Tucker Sadler Architects, San Diego, they took a leap to fashion a space that encourages the development of students’ talents while connecting to the community. This was done with Mayan influences, including a giant sun glyph and soaring building geometries.
ATAS International, Inc. a family-owned business that went from a siding and trim installer to an industry leading manufacturer of metal panels for the building envelope, with locations across the United States, celebrates their 60th year of business in 2023.
IMPs are weather-tight panels that provide a strong thermal and moisture barrier. These single component, factory pre-engineered systems made with steel skins and an insulating foam core are a widely used high-performance, low-energy building envelope solution.
In the heart of Madison, Wisconsin sits Madison Yards, a 21-acre, mixed-use development that will drive a much-needed uptick in housing to the area. The complex includes more than 300 upscale residential units, 11,000 square feet of retail space, a central green space.
A recent renovation project for the Minneapolis Public Housing Authority’s Elliot Twin Towers development shows how these facilities can be upgraded to add decades to their usefulness and comfort to their residents’ lives. A metal wall panel system was used for a creative effect in this project, adding both insulating value and upscale visual flair.
