Kingspan's KS Series Adds A Bold Appearance to NAU's High Performance Athletic Center

The 72,000 sq. ft Northern Arizona University Student-Athlete High Performance Center is NAU’s brand new, one-stop spot for academic support, athletic training, medicine, and practice.

Designed to fit into the natural landscape of the hills of Flagstaff, the breathtaking facility boasts mountainous views of Humphreys Peak while serving as a beacon to new recruits and a way to retain student-athletes. 

A total of 25,500 sq. ft of our KS Mini Micro-Rib insulated metal panels were used for this project. KS Series insulated metal wall panels provide unique aesthetics through a wide range of profiles, all while delivering supreme thermal performance, a critical aspect for the Student Athlete High Performance Center. Adjustable module widths integrate for distinct architectural flair. KS Series panels can also be customized with trimless ends and pre-formed corners to provide a clean, finished appearance.

Kingspan insulated metal panels were chosen for this project for their ease of installation and design flexibility. KS Series insulated metal wall panels provide unique aesthetics through a wide range of profiles, all while delivering supreme thermal performance. With energy efficiency as a top priority, insulated metal panels help the athletic facility achieve those goals as a highly effective air, water and vapor barrier, all while providing a distinct look through the texture of the KS Mini Micro-Rib profile. Insulated metal panels only require an installer, rather than multiple trades, cutting down on construction time. With weather a concern in the mountains, this was a critical reason to select the all-in-one modular assembly of insulated metal panels.
