Project Features Metal Panels Of Various Colors And Profiles

摘要

The risks associated with using ribbed metal wall panels on the upper walls of the Alerus Multi-Event Center in Grand Forks, ND, were minimal. Utilizing the same material on the lower sections was more of a gamble. To make sure the end result matched the desired effect, the project architect used four different profiles of panels, each in a slightly different color. "The program requirements were to provide an event center that would be large enough for indoor football and provide areas for entertainment events such as concerts, rodeos, conferences, expositions and other events," stated a project release by Minnkota Building Products Co., supplier of the metal panel systems. "The characteristic deemed important in the selection of metal for the exterior was the variety of profiles available to break up the massive areas of the building. This was accomplished through the use of carefully coordinated custom colors."
