METAL PROVES RELIABLE IN EXTREME CONDITIONS
The harsh temperatures and high elevation presented unique challenges for the roofing on the visitor center at Pike’s Peak in Colorado Springs. Many materials wouldn’t withstand the severe environment. See drone footage and read the case study to learn how metal met the Living Building Challenge and load requirements for the roof.
IMPs ARE HEAD OF CLASS AT THIS HIGH SCHOOL
When the designers learned that this high school would use their new building for many math and science classes, Insulated Metal Panels (IMPs) allowed them to incorporate a famous mathematics sequence formula in an eye-catching pattern. This case study reveals how it is was accomplished.
THIS HOSPITAL IS A LEADER IN SUSTAINABLE DESIGN
St. Michael Medical Center is the most energy-efficient hospital in Washington state. Metal panels were an essential part of the design to achieve this important goal, using 50% less energy than the average hospital in the Pacific Northwest.
