To break up boxy forms on SKS Bottle and Packaging’s 140,000-square-foot office and warehouse facility and screen mechanical systems on the roof, Paone Architecture PC designed it with insulated metal panels (IMPs) that exceed the eave lines and create a parapet of varying heights. In some places, the IMPs are 35 feet high; in others, they are stepped down to 32 feet high. Offices, corners and upper corners of the warehouse area are highlighted by glass with overhangs above and below the windows to enhance aesthetics.

On the overhangs, Munter Enterprises Inc., general contractor and installer for the project, installed MBCI’s Artisan L12 metal soffit panels, which are beaded to reduce the chance of oil canning. Water drains from the building’s 31-foot-high flat roof in an internal gutter system.

On offices in front of the building, Munter Enterprises installed Metl-Span’s 3-inch-thick CF-42 IMPs with a 24-gauge Galvalume exterior in Charcoal Gray with a Santa Fe finish. The remainder of the CF-42 IMPs have a 26-gauge Galvalume exterior in Tundra with a Light Mesa finish and interior of 26-gauge Galvalume in Igloo White with a Light Mesa finish.

SKS Bottle and Packaging is a supplier, consultant and designer of plastic bottles and jars, glass bottles and jars, metal containers and closures for packaging.

Todd Coffin, project coordinator at Munter Enterprises, says, “It was an aggressive 268 days from building permit to certificate of completion. The land was cleared in the fall, foundations started in November into December 2017, followed by steel erection in a bitter cold January. Other than a couple key open wall areas for access of equipment, cement trucks and management of materials into the building, we had the building essentially enclosed by May 2018.”
