Robert Service High School in Anchorage, Alaska, is named after the famous poet and author who wrote of the wilderness and wonder of the area in the early 20th century. When the school district renovated the building, it seemed only fitting to give the school a colorful, natural exterior look that reflected its namesake’s ideas of the region.
However, installing outer panels in the variety of colors that school officials wanted is costly because of minimum quantities and set-up charges. So the high school turned to Citadel Panel 20 MCM panels, an on-site assembly product that bypassed extra costs and shortened construction time.
“Panel 20 is a field-assembled system, and that was beneficial to us in order to meet the general contractor’s schedule,” said Gregg Upton, project manager from subcontractor Commercial Contractors, Anchorage. “We were able to bring in stock sheets of material and extrusions in the five different colors and actually field-fabricate it.”
The school sports 20,000 sf of the panels in five colors: Colonial Red, Atlantic Sunrise, Sky Blue, Woodthrush, and Charcoal.
