Approximately 8,500 square feet of Metl-Span's 2-inch CF-36
horizontal Striated Insulated Wall Panels finished in custom
Vancouver Copper Kynar, were selected as a key component on the
third-largest Whole Foods store in the world. The Metl-Span
insulated panels interface with precast and other metal products
including ACM, corrugated panels and perforated panels.
Located in Lincoln Park, the new 75,000-square-foot store
includes seven neighborhood-themed eateries, a stage for music and
seating for 400 in eating and lounge areas. The store also offers a
420-car indoor parking lot.
Tuschall Engineering Co. installed the Metl-Span and other metal
products. "We worked on the project for nearly three years from
start to finish," recalls James C. Tuschall, president. "The
architect wanted a very flat surface for the cladding at the top of
the building and wrapping around the top level of the parking
structure. The installation of the Metl-Span panels was pretty
straightforward and went very smoothly. The project looks
great."
