In New Bern, North Carolina, history is coming to life—and history is being made—at the North Carolina History Center at Tryon Palace. For Rockfon, the project’s special challenges required solutions that broke new ground in custom ceiling panel fabrication.
The site selected for the new history center was the site of the former Barbour Boat Works warehouse located on the Trent River. The building featured massive steel trusses spanning the width of the building and other architectural elements typical of 19th century industrial style.
