Alpha Brewing Company recently took its business to the next level with a new, expanded headquarters in St. Louis that features a high-performance insulated metal panel facade by Metl-Span.

A $38 million dollar expansion plan was set in motion to accommodate the growing enrollment at the East Valley Institute of Technology (EVIT), by renovating and renaming the school’s East Campus, now called the Power Campus. EVIT is one of Arizona’s top schools for students looking to advance their career and technical education in a variety of industries.EVIT Power Campus is now home to EVIT’s aviation and future engineer programs, the East Campus Academy for Cosmetic Arts, and several programs in the School of Health Sciences.

The new Derry Township Community Center in Hershey, Pa., provides much needed space for community recreational programs. Opened in June 2022, the 90,000 square foot community center features a gymnasium, fitness center, 25-yard indoor competitive lap pool, indoor warm water leisure pool, outdoor pool, senior center, teen room, and a variety of classroom and multi-use spaces.

2505 Bruckner’s sheer size was one of the key considerations for architects, planners, and specifiers. The two-level facility has more than 100 loading docks and 125 spaces for box trucks, and it includes entrance and exit ramps for tractor trailers on both levels. The building’s tall ceilings accommodate modern vertical racking systems that can reach as high as 32 feet, and the roof is fashioned to accommodate drone deliveries.

The Lander County Recreation Center requested additional storage space during the construction process to meet the needs of its growing suite of programs. Given the center’s proximity to a nearby school, the fire-rated panels were utilized to meet building codes. 972 square feet of 24-gauge, 4-inch ThermalSafe panels were then incorporated to their facility. 

The Sofidel Centerville, the first greenfield paper plant, utilizes nearly 500,000 square feet of Metl-Span’s 6-inch ThermalSafe insulated metal wall panels, achieving a two-hour fire rating while meeting building code requirements.

The waterpark’s facilities, situated atop the parking structure, called for a two-hour rating on the firebreak panels. ThermalSafe fire resistant panels were then installed on the ceilings of the four parking levels to meet local code requirements. 

The Ark at JFK utilizes nearly 6,000 square feet of Metl-Span’s 7-inch ThermalSafe fire rated panels. The panels achieve a three-hour fire resistance rating, helping the design team meet today’s stringent fire codes while transforming the 60-year-old cargo facility to a 21st century one.
