Robotics developer Innovation First International<\/a> in Greenville, Texas, has utilized metal panels for its building envelope system to add an all-metal aesthetic, provide insulation, and create modularity.<\/p>\n

Innovation First\u2019s new, 5899-m2<\/sup> (63,500-sf) headquarters operates out of a 22-ha (55-acre) complex housing a metal fabrication plant, prototype development and model shop, distribution center, and corporate offices.<\/p>\n

The company brought its own design and performance parameters to the drafting table, creating a collaborative process with architectural firm ID Studio 4<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The new headquarters features more than 7711 m2<\/sup> (83,000 sf) of insulated metal wall and roof panels. The project incorporates 5911 m2<\/sup> (63,626 sf) of insulated metal standing seam roof panels and 1800 m2<\/sup> (19,380 sf) of insulated metal wall panels.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a collaborative design process from the beginning,\u201d said Peter Brown, studio director with ID Studio 4. \u201cTheir internal design department had a good idea of the color combinations and the way they wanted it to look. Our job was to pull their designs into a construction-ready plan with an eye on insulation performance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Innovation First capitalized on an industrial aesthetic with a stucco-embossed profile in multiple shades of gray. The panel\u2019s dynamic embossed texture provides subtle light and shadow variation to lend the panel visual depth.<\/p>\n

The wall panels combine aesthetics with a high-performance polyurethane (PUR) insulating core for thermal and moisture protection. Designers specified the product\u2019s maximum 102-mm (4-in.) thickness for an R-value of more than 32.<\/p>\n

The design concept also called for a metal roof with high-performance insulated standing seam panels. The 50-mm (2-in.) standing seam provides long, even sightlines, further contributing to the project\u2019s industrial aesthetic. The panels also incorporate concealed clips and fasteners.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
