MCN awards
Judging the more than 50 entries submit-
ted for the 2010 Metal Construction News
Awards was as difficult a process as ever this
year. The margin between the winning proj-
ects and the other submissions was painfully
slim, causing the judges to teeter back and
forth numerous times on their selections.
However, we believe the projects included
here truly stand out and exemplify excellence
2010 Metal Construction News Awardsin metal construction across four categories
(building, roofing, walls and best overall). The
depth and breadth, aesthetics and functionality
of metal are on display here among our winners.
The winners range from a traditional but
perfectly realized metal building food bank in
Springfield, Mo., to a uniquely textured use of
metal walls at a wax museum in Los Angeles.
Our metal roofing winner provided durability
against the elements, and historic integrity to
an Erie, Penn. home originally built in 1929. And
on the best project overall, metal conveyed a
powerful sense of meaning.
Our honorable mentions will give you an
idea of the type of quality we had to leave out.
Submission after submission showed the uses
of metal going on and on, in some cases literally
for miles. It’s a beautiful sight to see.
Structurally a simple building, this two-story
office was accomplished with a structural
steel mezzanine—all of the aesthetic com-
ponents are concentrated in the front office
portion of the building. The end us of the
project, a food bank, dictated that the project
not be too extravagant.
The value and aesthetics of the metal pan-
els allowed for a very pleasing building appear-
ance, while providing the economy needed
on the project. The use of multiple panels on
WINNER: OZARKS FOOD HARVEST, SPRINGFIELD, MO.
the office portion of the building, with both
horizontal and vertical placement, resulted in a
very interesting and cost-effective application.
Supplied by Oklahoma City-based
Star Building Systems, the project utilized
24-gauge StarShield standing-seam roof in
galvalume finish. Also, 27,000 square feet of
StarMark wall panel in Signature 200 Light
Stone were used on the walls. In addition,
3 MBCI panels and glass were used on the
2-story office portion of the building, which
included the FW-120 panel in 24 gauge
Brownstone Signature 300 finish installed
horizontally; the ShadowRib panel in Light
Stone Signature 200 finish installed horizon-
tally; and the 7.2 panel in Signature 200 Light
Stone finish.
Metal was selected for the project be-
cause of economic benefits and the aesthetic
appeal, both factors were very important in
the end-result of this building to project the
proper image throughout the community.

roofing winner
WINNER: PRIVATE RESIDENCE, ERIE, PENN.METAL ROOFING
The 14,000-square-foot home is designed
in the Greek Revival style. The central por-
tion of the home, originally built in 1929, has a
traditional Greek temple pediment and fluted
columns. The new western and eastern wings
of the home and the new detached carriage
house mimic the traditional details and pro-
portions of the original part of the home. This
creates a uniform balance to the formal south
façade that faces the street. The north façade
has larger windows and multiple balconies to
take advantage of the Lake Erie sunsets and
views over Erie’s Bay.
When the homeowners decided to
expand and renovate their home, its location
on the South Shore of Lake Erie dictated the
need for an attractive, durable new roofing
material that would withstand heavy amounts
of snow and ice, while holding up against
heavy winds. The low sheen of Follansbee’s
KlassicKolors maintains the home’s traditional
look and preserves its historic integrity.
Follansbee KlassicKolors is a pre-painted
Terne II zinc/tin coated roofing sheet offered
in an extensive palette of designer colors. Its
base sheet is coated with Follansbee’s pat-
ented ZT (zinc/tin) alloy and then painted with
Valspar solar reflective paint coatings. The ZT
alloy provides enhanced durability and extends
the life of the metal for many years, even if
the painted surface is breached.
KlassicKolors was selected because the
material resembled an authentic copper patina
standing-seam roof. Beyond aesthetics, Klas-
sicKolors is an energy-efficient roofing option
that provides durability and wind resistance.

walls winner
The goal of the building’s design was to
portray an iconic architectural landmark
in one of the most significant areas of Los
Angeles—adjacent to the world-famous
Mann’s Chinese Theater. The urban goal was
to spatially complete the western end of Holly-
wood Boulevard, where the majority of tourist
activity takes place. The building was design so
the multi-leveled public spaces would enhance
the street life as it ascends to the roof plaza.
“The architectural language and form is
simultaneously deferential to the adjacent
landmark and [is] contemporary. The muse-
um program required a flexible black box and
the neighborhood needed a scaled, articu-
lated, sensuous building,” Michael Rotondi,
Design Principal with JAG/RoTo Architects,
Los Angeles, architect on the project.
Though metal components such as steel
railings and aluminum bar grating were used
throughout the building, the “WOW” factor
is created in part by the Zinc wall panels that
grace the outer skin of the building. Umicore
VMZinc Custom flat lock .8mm zinc panels
in PIGMENTO Red were the wall application
of choice, chosen to match the building’s
other design elements and because of its
aesthetically pleasing qualities.
Selecting a material that would blend with
the glass curtain wall and cmu of the contempo-
rary style new building and the adjacent historic
district including the Chinese Theater was a
challenge. Therefore, zinc was selected because
of its modern, yet organic, qualities. Also,
designing the metal to be installed over varying
sloped walls and numerous folds was another
challenge that had to be met in the construction
of the museum.
GES Sheet Metal Inc., Pomona, Calif, was
the installer on the project and Morley Con-
struction Company, Santa Monica, Calif., was
the general contractor.

overall winner
The 65,000-square foot Illinois Holocaust
Museum and Education Center in Chicago’s
near-north suburb of Skokie, Ill., was
designed as a lasting memorial to the
victims and the survivors of the Holocaust,
and to serve as an education center to
promote tolerance.
The architect designed the structure as
a visual reflection of the journey through the
events of the Holocaust and as a celebration of
man’s inimitable hope. It is both dark and light,
and boasts 12,000 square feet of Alcoa Archi-
tectural Products’ Reynobond ACM in a Pewter
finish; 10,000 square feet of Reynobond ACM
in a Pure White finish and 1,000 square feet of
Reynobond ACM in a Cadet Grey finish.
Entering through the dark pewter building,
visitors immediately descend into the dark-
ness of the Holocaust. They travel through
the hinge, which houses an authentic 20th-
century German railcar used by the Nazis to
transport their victims, and which represents
the “inaccessible void” between the darkness
and the light. Visitors literally ascend into the
light as they enter the white education build-
ing for the final phase of their tour.
The Alcoa ACM panels were installed
in a series 3,000 dry-joint rainscreen system
used to clad the exterior walls of the
museum buildings.
The panels had to be custom sized, so the
fabricator used a CAD system to lay a 36-inch
grid over the entire structure from the ground
up to make the sight lines form ranks around
the building. To make the joints of the panels
line up at all points on the building, every panel
ILLINOIS HOLOCAUST MUSEUM AND EDUCATION CENTER, SKOKIE, ILL.OVERALL PROJECT WINNER
had to fit within that specified grid. The steel
bracing used as accents on the louvers of
the entry building and on the windows in the
education center was crafted to fit within that
grid. A round enclosure on the roof was clad in
18-inch panels that fit into the 36-inch grid, as
did the conical shapes created to fill the areas
where the slope of the roof meets the curves
of the wall.
The architect specified ACM for this proj-
ect because of its durability and sustainable
profile, as well as, the ability to color and form
the material to support the symbolism of the
museum’s architecture.
The museum was designed to sustainable
standards, has received LEED Silver certifica-
tion and 89 percent of construction waste was
diverted from landfills.
