The New Columbia St. Mary's Hospital Project in Milwaukee used a more than 130,000 sqaure feet of Dri-design Architectural Wall Panels. The Dri-design panels reach to almost all corners and heights of the new 10 story structure.
The Covance Laboratories addition used a combination of aluminum composite and corrugated metal. One of the key requirements included constructing a system where exterior sealant was not used - but the panel system was still curved. Strang Architects recently completed the Novagen project where APW used Sobotec's SL-2000 for the canopies and fascias. Strang again used this product for the curved canopies and curved ellipse that slopes from South to North on the top of the building. The vertical columns in the precast portion of the building are wrapped with curved composite panels. Horizontal corrugated panels were used on the screen throughout the project in conjunction with the composite panels.
The Heart Hospital incorporates a large amount of Aluminum Composite Material (ACM) Panels into almost all areas of the exterior building enclosure. The columns, radius canopy and soffit, as well as the circular fascia and soffit above the curtainwall all received ACM panels. This wet-seal system features a ½" standard caulked joint.
Marshfield Clinic in Eau Claire, WI utilized Dri-design Architectural Wall Panels as a façade – soffit to hi-light an impressive overhang roof entrance canopy to the new medical clinic. The façade panels at the high overhang feature multiple bends to accommodate the building’s various angels.
The Marshfield Clinic Ambulatory Center features Aluminum Composite Material (ACM) as both an exterior cladding and interior feature material. On the outside, ACM panels were used on the canopy and fascias as well as the half-round building columns. In the interior, both half and full round floor to ceiling columns received similar colored column covers.
APW used products from 4 different manufacturers on this project. BR-28 from Morin was used horizontally on the screen wall. Alply's 0.125 aluminum plate was used at the entrance canopy and column covers. The plate system allowed for curving the fascia, which provided a sloped sill at the top of the system. Alply's 9/16" snug seam with a 2" thick foam core was used to fill in between the windows on the new addition. All Fab's paper honeycomb core was used on the existing building to cover over and fill in between the windows. All Fab duplicated Alply's panel in appearance by using a painted metal reveal strip as compared to Alply's extruded silicone grey gasket. All Fab was required on the existing area because the existing condition only allowed for 1" core and did not require extra insulation. All of the products were painted with Kynar in a custom white.
Mercy Medical used a combination of aluminum composite and foam core wall panels. The foam core panels were used at the mechanical penthouses and the ambulance garage. These areas took advantage of the insulating core and the prefinished interior skin. All of the remaining areas used aluminum composite instead of an air barrier and insulated wall substrate. The joints on the foam core panels were dry and used a concealed gasket at the horizontal joints and an exposed gasket at the vertical joints. All of the aluminum composite panel joints were sealed with exposed silicone.
Novagen was designed using EIFS at the main building area with Aluminum Composite at the curved entrance fascia, canopy and soffits. A dry joint, pressure equalized rain screen design was used. Panels were installed over an air barrier.
The U.W. Health Science Project uses a caulked joint Aluminum Composite Material (ACM) panel system. Panels were used on building walls and the skywalk, at the entry canopies, and as window infills.
