If you are looking for a place to work out, have fun and enjoy some amazing facilities, you might want to check out the new South-East Aurora Rec Center. This state-of-the-art, 61,000 sf building is the latest addition to the city of Aurora’s network of community and recreation centers. What’s more, it was funded entirely by the tax revenue from marijuana sales. The design was done by Populous Architects, a renowned firm with global experience, and the installation was handled by Douglas Colony, a local contractor with a reputation for excellence. One of the striking features of the building is the facade, which is covered with Abet Laminati facade panels, a durable and aesthetic material that enhances the appearance and performance of the structure.

Petrarch Engineered Stone Rainscreen Cladding is composed primarily of reconstituted marble that is recycled instead of being discarded. And like natural stone, Petrarch exterior architecture panels will endure extreme environmental conditions, vandalism, and exposure for years to come. Petrarch panels are available in 4 Textures + 16 Standard Colors and Unlimited Custom Colors, Molds, Images, and Patterns.

About the Shopping Cart test:

A couple of years ago Petrarch screwed a panel against the wall with the Z-girts being ~24” OC  and threw a shopping cart at it as hard as they could You can see the results in the YouTube video below  

Below is the video of my number one competitor (You know who you are) who did not do so well…

FUNCTIONAL BUILDINGS WITH HIGH ARCHITECTURAL QUALITY

The main fire station in Regensburg impressively demonstrates that functional buildings can also be realised with high architectural quality. Here, a particular strength of AGROB BUCHTAL came into play: The comprehensive range includes numerous ceramic solutions for interior and exterior use – a benefit that enables holistic concepts.

For the façade of this new building the architects chose the AGROB BUCHTAL system Keratwin with a colour gradient of finely tuned shades, which were specially designed and individually manufactured for this project
