was distinctive and helped accent and define the entrance."
The second panel profile specified was the Precision Series HWP.
Nearly 30,000 sq. ft. of the panels, using a clip-leg interface with traditional brick masonry, was installed on an expansive classroom
wing. "The metal panels were selected for their high value since budget was absolutely an issue. We were tasked with getting as many
square feet as possible out of the budget," Baus noted.
Both the Flush Panels and HWP panels were 22-gauge steel and
finished in Cool Color Silver. The panels were fabricated at Petersen's
manufacturing facility in Acworth, GA. Installation of the panels
was done by Glasgow Roofing, North Charleston, SC.
MOOSEHEART CHILD CITY & SCHOOL

Meanwhile, four types of metal panels were used to rejuvenate a
school for needy children in Illinois. Dedicated in 1913 by the Moose
fraternal organization, Mooseheart Child City & School is a home
for children and teens in need. Located on a 1,000-acre campus west
of Chicago, Mooseheart provides children-infants through high
school-with a wholesome, home-like environment, and quality
training and education.
The renovation project included a new entrance, administrative
offices, band practice area, and gymnasium with locker rooms. The
new gym has seating for 400 and is used for a wide range of functions
and events. Topping the new gymnasium is 9,000 sq. ft. of curved
PAC-CLAD Tite-Loc .032 aluminum panels. The 95-ft. panels were
finished in Slate Gray and roll-formed on site. Several other Petersen
wall profiles also were used on the project including 1,200 sq. ft. of
0.040 aluminum Flush Panels finished in Cityscape and 1,300 sq. ft.
of 7.2 Panels finished in Bone White. The versatile 7.2 Panels were
used in accent applications inside the gymnasium.
At the entrance to the new gym, several columns were clad with
PAC-1000C series column covers. The C series is designed to leave a
small vertical reveal where the sections meet. Backer rod and caulk
are applied to the vertical reveal joint.
Installation of the profiles was completed by Whited Brothers,
South Holland, IL. "Petersen provided the coil and the roll-former
for the 95-ft. barrel roof panels that we installed on the roof of the
gymnasium," said Keven Whited, president. The other profiles were
fabricated at Petersen's headquarters manufacturing facility in Elk
Grove Village, IL.
Architectural design for the project was created by Hestrup and
Associates Architects, Geneva, IL.
The two projects demonstrate how similar aims often can transcend geography with solutions that meet common expectations and
specifications. CA

Modernization of the school's appearance was also a key design
objective. "We wanted to bring the school into the 21st century and
pull the campus together with a consistent, contemporary feel," Baus
said. This was accomplished with help from approximately 37,000 sq.

A major facelift of the front entrance and arrival area was highlighted with 7,000 sq. ft. of Petersen's 12-in. Flush Panels installed on
the diagonal. "We wanted to treat the entrance in a special manner,"
Baus explained, referring to the diagonal design. "Horizontal or vertical is pretty much the norm. We thought the diagonal application
