Metal Facade

The Healthcare, Educators, Leaders & Innovators Complex (HELIX) will serve as a collaboration and office space for University of Utah Health faculty and staff. With the aging School of Medicine (Building 521) at the end of its useful life, HELIX will become the new home for many School of Medicine departments and occupants. The new building will offer U of U Health faculty and staff the environment and attributes needed to do their best work. (source)

Here is what the rendering looks like

finished project using NorthClad Laser cut panels

It’s amazing what a few laser cut panels in choice places can do for the project.

The Salt Lake Community College Westpointe Technical and Career Center in Salt Lake City, Utah was a major project for us. The system itself is the NorthClad EF series using .0125″ plate aluminum and extruded continuous aluminum sub girds for drainage and support.

This project came down to two manufacturers, NorthClad and well… the other guys. Even though it was only a small project comparatively speaking getting this Purchase Order felt good. The quality of the product and the tested system convinced Superior Roofing to give us the PO. This project is a great showcase of what we can do using NorthClad

So here is a project we are very proud of. Open Studio Architects was tasked with upgrading the facade to bring this building out of the 60th into the 21st Century. The Facade panel is a QC200 honeycomp panel from QC Facades. (www.QCFacades.com) Max panel size is 5’x20′ with a ZERO OILCANNING WARRANTY.

Anyway: I know I’m not a gifted photographer It propably has something to do with the fact that I took the picture with my cell phone. Check it out for your self.  This project is right across from the Cherry Creek Mall.
