Architects used a metal panel design that provides an aesthetic that worked well with brick.
Architects for the new buildings at the Manchester Municipal Complex were searching for a metal panel that provided an aesthetic that worked with the mostly brick design. They found it in the offerings from Morin, A Kingspan Group Company.
“Honestly, the reason we went with Morin had a lot to do with the profile,” said Chris Drobat, AIA, LEED AP, president of Lavallee Brensinger Architects, Manchester, N.H. “The Morin (Matrix Series) panel has a square edge compared to what other manufacturers offer. The look of the panel created nice shadow lines. With other panels, we couldn’t get that straight contrast. It’s got depth, when you get close to it, you can see it’s a rich panel.”
