The 15,500-square-foot Postma Center was transformed
from a dilapidated gymnasium into a modern worship
and education center. The exterior wall was clad with
5,000 square feet of custom fl at-lock wall panels
using Revere Copper Products’ EverGreen pre-patinated
copper supplied by Petersen Aluminum. Vertical colored-
glass windows are inset in the radius wall at varying
heights. Above and below each window opening are
Petersen Aluminum’s PAC Composite Panels that are
fi nished in classic bronze and platinum. Approximately
1,800 square feet of the composite panels were utilized.
Standing-seam metal roof panels fabricated from
0.032-inch PAC-CLAD coil and fi nished in dark bronze also
were installed along with fascia using Petersen Alumi-
num’s PAC-3000 CS Composite wall panel system. About
190 feet of curved EverGreen coping, which caps the radius
wall, was custom fi t and hand cut into 5-foot lengths.
