When Skanska USA Building was tasked with the fast-track project of a sleek and modern Cruise Terminal in Port Canaveral, the obvious choice was the knock-out combination of contractor Quality Metals, Inc., of Sanford Florida and Petersen’s 7.2 and R-36 exposed fastener panels.
Cruise Terminal #6 is designed specifically for the modern generation of cruise ships and passenger amenities. The $26.6 million facility is part of an overall $60 million upgrade. It features a two-story atrium which is clad with 43,000 SF of PAC’s 7.2 rib wall panels produced in .032 aluminum with a PAC-CLAD Kynar Cityscape finish.

When the doors open in the Fall of 2012, 800 students of Meadow Glenn Middle School, Lexington, SC, will walk into the first LEED middle school in Lexington County School District One.
Contributing towards the anticipated Silver LEED status is Petersen Aluminum’s PAC Precision Series HWP, a bold, horizontal wall panel designed for edgy aesthetics, durability, ease of installation and sustainability. 12,000 square feet of the 16” HWP will be utilized on the second story building envelope. Manufactured of 24 GA in Sandstone PAC-CLAD Kynar finish, the galvanized steel wall panel offers a recycle content of over 32%, with 25.5% coming from post-consumer scrap.
Architect-of-Record for the project is Hussey, Gay, Bell & DeYoung, Columbia South Carolina. PAC distributor Roofers Mart of Columbia coordinated the project with installer Watts & Associates Roofing. Construction of all phases of this project is expected to wrap up this summer.
After 40 years in business, Sol Harris/Day Architecture, North Canton, OH, required new office space. They seized the moment and implemented the firm’s vision of sustainable design into lessons to be followed by all for minimizing environmental impact. The result? A cool looking building that is energy efficient and environmentally sensitive in every aspect, literally from the ground up.
The design process incorporated green strategies including recycling, reusing and salvaging the existing barn and house structures, superior insulating materials, a white roof to reflect sunlight as well as a green vegetative roof, and the use of natural sunlight wherever possible. Sol Harris/Day hopes that their efforts will result in achieving GOLD LEED status.
Petersen Aluminum’s 7/8” Corrugated Panel, an exposed fastener panel, was specified for the office’s exterior walls. Over 4000 SF of the .032 aluminum panels with a Weathered Zinc Metallic PAC-CLAD Kynar finish were installed vertically by Advanced Industrial Roofing. The aluminum for this project, boasting over 43% recycle content, was recovered and rollformed in facilities located within 500 miles of jobsite, achieving points toward the LEED categories of MR 4 (recycle content) and MR5 (regional availability).

The beautiful views of the Gulf of Mexico along scenic 30A in Seaside, FL isn’t the only sight worthy of a second look at the new 723 Whiskey Bravo Restaurant. Visitors to the second floor observation and serving area of one of the area’s newest restaurants can also enjoy a very cool barrel roof comprised of Petersen’s Tite-Loc Plus curved panels.
The barrel roof also partially serves as a canopy and consists of 1800 SF of .040 aluminum field-curved panels. Finished in PAC-CLAD Silver Metallic Kynar finish, the panels provide a 20-Year Finish warranty for coastal applications utilizing the aluminum substrate, and the .040 thickness provides the ability to meet negative load uplift requirements for this project located across the street from the beach.
Distributor for the project, completed in the winter of 2011, was Roofers Mart of Pensacola, and installation contractor was ATW Roofing, Santa Rosa Beach, FL. Wade Squiers and Brian Stackable of Stackable & Squiers Design Group, Santa Rosa Beach, FL were the architects-of-record.
Long-term performance of Petersen Aluminum’s Snap Clad panels may have been the main objective for specification for the Westminister Woods Retirement Community in Jacksonville, FL, but that wasn’t the only appealing factor: The panels also provide unmatched beauty and low maintenance, critical elements for the 75 acre community located on the shores of the St. John’s River.
Approximately 150,000 SF of PAC’s Snap Clad architectural standing seam metal roofing panels in 24 GA Galvalume Plus was used on the 47 villa-style homes. The 16” wide metal roofing panels, produced with striations for this project, also offer excellent resistance to wind uplift and have Florida Building Code approval. The project began in the summer of 2011 and is expected to be completed during summer, 2012.
Roofing installer for all phases of Westminster Woods is Mac Johnson Roofing Company, Gainesville FL, and distributor was Gulfeagle Supply, also out of Gainesville. Architect-of-Record is Basham & Lucas Design Group Inc, Jacksonville, FL.
