Youngkers High School, Buckeye, Ariz.

The high school’s new gymnasium is a 19,928-square-foot (1,851-m2) structural steel project. The state-of-the-art educational and recreational facility is designed to offer a place for students to play sports and allow student athletes a facility for games and exercise.

Metallic Building Co. supplied the metal building and Ultra-Dek standing-seam roof system, in addition to perforated PBU and PBC liners with PBR sidewall and endwall panels for the project. The gymnasium used horizontally placed panels that extend 2 feet (0.6 m) past the endwalls. Jack beams were strategically placed to eliminate columns behind the basketball goals. Chosen because it offers clear, open space, the metal building is 106 feet (32 m) wide and 188 feet (57 m) long with a 40-foot (12-m) eave height and a 1:12 roof slope.
