MCN awards

Judging the more than 50 entries submit-

ted for the 2010 Metal Construction News

Awards was as difficult a process as ever this

year. The margin between the winning proj-

ects and the other submissions was painfully

slim, causing the judges to teeter back and

forth numerous times on their selections.

However, we believe the projects included

here truly stand out and exemplify excellence

2010 Metal Construction News Awardsin metal construction across four categories

(building, roofing, walls and best overall). The

depth and breadth, aesthetics and functionality

of metal are on display here among our winners.

The winners range from a traditional but

perfectly realized metal building food bank in

Springfield, Mo., to a uniquely textured use of

metal walls at a wax museum in Los Angeles.

Our metal roofing winner provided durability

against the elements, and historic integrity to

an Erie, Penn. home originally built in 1929. And

on the best project overall, metal conveyed a

powerful sense of meaning.

Our honorable mentions will give you an

idea of the type of quality we had to leave out.

Submission after submission showed the uses

of metal going on and on, in some cases literally

for miles. It’s a beautiful sight to see.

Structurally a simple building, this two-story

office was accomplished with a structural

steel mezzanine—all of the aesthetic com-

ponents are concentrated in the front office

portion of the building. The end us of the

project, a food bank, dictated that the project

not be too extravagant.

The value and aesthetics of the metal pan-

els allowed for a very pleasing building appear-

ance, while providing the economy needed

on the project. The use of multiple panels on

WINNER: OZARKS FOOD HARVEST, SPRINGFIELD, MO.

the office portion of the building, with both

horizontal and vertical placement, resulted in a

very interesting and cost-effective application.

Supplied by Oklahoma City-based

Star Building Systems, the project utilized

24-gauge StarShield standing-seam roof in

galvalume finish. Also, 27,000 square feet of

StarMark wall panel in Signature 200 Light

Stone were used on the walls. In addition,

3 MBCI panels and glass were used on the

2-story office portion of the building, which

included the FW-120 panel in 24 gauge

Brownstone Signature 300 finish installed

horizontally; the ShadowRib panel in Light

Stone Signature 200 finish installed horizon-

tally; and the 7.2 panel in Signature 200 Light

Stone finish.

Metal was selected for the project be-

cause of economic benefits and the aesthetic

appeal, both factors were very important in

the end-result of this building to project the

proper image throughout the community.

roofing winner

WINNER: PRIVATE RESIDENCE, ERIE, PENN.METAL ROOFING

The 14,000-square-foot home is designed

in the Greek Revival style. The central por-

tion of the home, originally built in 1929, has a

traditional Greek temple pediment and fluted

columns. The new western and eastern wings

of the home and the new detached carriage

house mimic the traditional details and pro-

portions of the original part of the home. This

creates a uniform balance to the formal south

façade that faces the street. The north façade

has larger windows and multiple balconies to

take advantage of the Lake Erie sunsets and

views over Erie’s Bay.

When the homeowners decided to

expand and renovate their home, its location

on the South Shore of Lake Erie dictated the

need for an attractive, durable new roofing

material that would withstand heavy amounts

of snow and ice, while holding up against

heavy winds. The low sheen of Follansbee’s

KlassicKolors maintains the home’s traditional

look and preserves its historic integrity.

Follansbee KlassicKolors is a pre-painted

Terne II zinc/tin coated roofing sheet offered

in an extensive palette of designer colors. Its

base sheet is coated with Follansbee’s pat-

ented ZT (zinc/tin) alloy and then painted with

Valspar solar reflective paint coatings. The ZT

alloy provides enhanced durability and extends

the life of the metal for many years, even if

the painted surface is breached.

KlassicKolors was selected because the

material resembled an authentic copper patina

standing-seam roof. Beyond aesthetics, Klas-

sicKolors is an energy-efficient roofing option

that provides durability and wind resistance.

walls winner

The goal of the building’s design was to

portray an iconic architectural landmark

in one of the most significant areas of Los

Angeles—adjacent to the world-famous

Mann’s Chinese Theater. The urban goal was

to spatially complete the western end of Holly-

wood Boulevard, where the majority of tourist

activity takes place. The building was design so

the multi-leveled public spaces would enhance

the street life as it ascends to the roof plaza.

“The architectural language and form is

simultaneously deferential to the adjacent

landmark and [is] contemporary. The muse-

um program required a flexible black box and

the neighborhood needed a scaled, articu-

lated, sensuous building,” Michael Rotondi,

Design Principal with JAG/RoTo Architects,

Los Angeles, architect on the project.

Though metal components such as steel

railings and aluminum bar grating were used

throughout the building, the “WOW” factor

is created in part by the Zinc wall panels that

grace the outer skin of the building. Umicore

VMZinc Custom flat lock .8mm zinc panels

in PIGMENTO Red were the wall application

of choice, chosen to match the building’s

other design elements and because of its

aesthetically pleasing qualities.

Selecting a material that would blend with

the glass curtain wall and cmu of the contempo-

rary style new building and the adjacent historic

district including the Chinese Theater was a

challenge. Therefore, zinc was selected because

of its modern, yet organic, qualities. Also,

designing the metal to be installed over varying

sloped walls and numerous folds was another

challenge that had to be met in the construction

of the museum.

GES Sheet Metal Inc., Pomona, Calif, was

the installer on the project and Morley Con-

struction Company, Santa Monica, Calif., was

the general contractor.

overall winner

The 65,000-square foot Illinois Holocaust

Museum and Education Center in Chicago’s

near-north suburb of Skokie, Ill., was

designed as a lasting memorial to the

victims and the survivors of the Holocaust,

and to serve as an education center to

promote tolerance.

The architect designed the structure as

a visual reflection of the journey through the

events of the Holocaust and as a celebration of

man’s inimitable hope. It is both dark and light,

and boasts 12,000 square feet of Alcoa Archi-

tectural Products’ Reynobond ACM in a Pewter

finish; 10,000 square feet of Reynobond ACM

in a Pure White finish and 1,000 square feet of

Reynobond ACM in a Cadet Grey finish.

Entering through the dark pewter building,

visitors immediately descend into the dark-

ness of the Holocaust. They travel through

the hinge, which houses an authentic 20th-

century German railcar used by the Nazis to

transport their victims, and which represents

the “inaccessible void” between the darkness

and the light. Visitors literally ascend into the

light as they enter the white education build-

ing for the final phase of their tour.

The Alcoa ACM panels were installed

in a series 3,000 dry-joint rainscreen system

used to clad the exterior walls of the

museum buildings.

The panels had to be custom sized, so the

fabricator used a CAD system to lay a 36-inch

grid over the entire structure from the ground

up to make the sight lines form ranks around

the building. To make the joints of the panels

line up at all points on the building, every panel

ILLINOIS HOLOCAUST MUSEUM AND EDUCATION CENTER, SKOKIE, ILL.OVERALL PROJECT WINNER

had to fit within that specified grid. The steel

bracing used as accents on the louvers of

the entry building and on the windows in the

education center was crafted to fit within that

grid. A round enclosure on the roof was clad in

18-inch panels that fit into the 36-inch grid, as

did the conical shapes created to fill the areas

where the slope of the roof meets the curves

of the wall.

The architect specified ACM for this proj-

ect because of its durability and sustainable

profile, as well as, the ability to color and form

the material to support the symbolism of the

museum’s architecture.

The museum was designed to sustainable

standards, has received LEED Silver certifica-

tion and 89 percent of construction waste was

diverted from landfills.
