Riddle Hospital's new Health Center 4 combines patient-centered
design and environmentally friendly features. The $40 million,
80,000-squarefoot medical office building embodies today's best
practices for creating new health care facilities. The project
features more than 7,000 square feet of 2- and 3-inch Architectural
Flat insulated metal wall panels in custom Platinum and Medium Gray
from Metl-Span. Additionally, approximately 800 square feet of
Metl-Span's CFR 36 standing seam roof panels in Cool Metallic
Silver were used on a pedestrian bridge. Panelcraft Inc. installed
the panels horizontally in module widths ranging from 21 to 40
inches.
"It was a complicated, complex job with unique detailing on each
elevation," according to Richard Scharr, project manager.
"Virtually everything was custom and required extremely careful
field measurements along with field fabrication as needed. The
design called for segmented panels at the top of the structure to
follow the arc of the building and they turned out great."
