NC State Plant Science Building Features Extensive Metal Applications
Hosting one of the top 10 best plant science programs in the country, the North Carolina State University Plant Science Building is an exciting, new, 185,000-square-foot, cutting-edge facility in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Earning recognition with a 2023 Metal Construction Association Design Award in the metal composite category, the application of metal building systems in the research facility extends way beyond the high-performing metal cladding. Metal sunshades, metal ceilings, exposed structural steel and metal greenhouse framing also boost performance, energy efficiencies and aesthetics for the LEED Gold building.
