As a practice center for the Louisiana State University Tigers
in winter, the LSU Indoor Practice Facility allows the coaches and
players to hone their skills on the gridiron in a climate
controlled facility. To create an enclosed space, the facility
required 600, 24-gauge, 110-inch-long panels with multi-span clips
in Sandstone, along with 155 panels in various lengths ranging from
22 to 40 feet. The panels were rollformed on-site by Architectural
Building Components' 238T rollformer, Archzilla. Completed in June
2011, the project has a 2:12 roof pitch.
