Exterior cladding
Metal composite materials can bend, curve and join together to offer a variety of design options
The Metal Initiative
Clayton College and State University in Morrow, Ga., dedicated a new $19 million university center in November. The structure needed to accommodate a student body that has increased by almost 40 percent over the past four years and continues to grow.
The architect selected aluminum composite material (ACM) for the fascia of the building to distinguish it from neighboring structures, which have project masonry and brick facades. They also opted for ACM because the panels can be shaped to meet intricate design schemes. In all, about 20,000 square feet of fire-rated, 4-millimeter-thick ACM panels in a platinum finish were installed along the exterior and interior walls, the entrance canopy and column covers. A platinum finish allowed the ACM panels to match the exterior surfaces clad with aluminum curtainwall.
One of the more difficult parts of the fabrication process was the central, curved structure that forms the nucleus of the building. The exterior wall enclosing the front atrium curves inside the building, and the transition from the exterior curtainwall and metal panel wall to the panel-clad interior wall was complicated. Inside the atrium, some of the column covers had to be fabricated as ovals rather than rounds, while others rise almost 50 feet in the air. The ACM material eased the fabrication of these intricate shapes.

Connecting building systems
Single user interface permits school district to monitor all building systems from a central location
Siemens Building Technologies
The Conway School District, Conway, N.H., consists of four school buildings that accommodate about 2,100 students from seven towns. Because of its remote location, the district often had received unreliable service from vendors.
About 10 years ago, Siemens installed a direct digital control building management system to improve classroom air quality and established a relationship with the district. Since then, Siemens has taken on several projects for the district, including a card-access system and an integrated system with a single APOGEE user interface.
The district passed a bond that allowed it to build a new high school and convert the existing high school into a middle school. The district's main concern was the conversion of all of the systems because the four school buildings are scattered three to five miles apart.
Siemens will be providing an integrated approach that includes private ethernet with building automation, fire, CCTV, security, master clock and intercom systems. The single user interface will ensure that all of these systems can communicate and be monitored from one central location. This system could result in $50,000 savings on installation because the district has a sole provider instead of various vendors. Other benefits include a more unified construction team, a more efficient and controlled construction process, and simplified maintenance.

Slam dunk for fund raising
Virtual video tour aids college in its mission to gain donors
AniMagic Productions Inc.
Berry College, Mount Berry, Ga., is raising funds for a $28.5 million capital campaign. The college is using its mascot, Victor the Viking, in a virtual tour video that showcases the planned Cage Center, which is the final priority in the college's overall $100 million Century Campaign.
Victor the Viking brings a playful tone to the virtual tour as it guides donors through the Cage Center's fitness area, natatorium, student lounges, president's suite and performance gym. The gym is shown in two different configurations to highlight its versatility. In one scene, virtual basketball players entertain hundreds of cheering spectators. In another, three virtual volleyball games are played side by side simultaneously. These techniques add energy and realism to the spaces, giving donors a preview of the future.
“Our video brings our center to life for campaign prospects,” says Karilon Rogers, public relations director. “We have had 100 percent positive feedback from donors to date, and fundraising results have been stronger than anticipated.”
The college also is using other multimedia tools to maximize donor interest in the campaign, including Internet-ready media for its website, single images for print use and a physical model for display on campus.
