For the Family Eye & ENT Center's new facility in Willmar, Minn., the physician owners envisioned a contemporary building that would stand out from the Prairie-style architecture typical in their area. To achieve a modern look, Burnsville, Minn.-based Specialty Systems installed Alcan Composites' Alucobond over 80% of the center. Alucobond is two sheets of 0.02-inch aluminum bonded to a plastic core. Fabricated in custom metallic blue and silver for the center, Alucobond provides high-end style as well as rigidity and weather resistance for the facility. The panels were installed over a two-inch galvanized “Z” frame with stainless-steel fasteners.
