The two-story, 54,000-square-foot, tilt-wall Wellington Municipal Complex in Welling- ton, Fla., features an 11,500-square-foot Englert Series 2000 standing seam roof. Michael Rodebaugh, project manager with the ar- chitect, Leo A. Daly, notes that the metal roof was chosen for its durability and wind uplift capabilities. It serves as well as serving as an aesthetic, unify- ing factor for the various elements of the complex including the municipal offi ces, the amphitheater and the clock tower. The new design-build municipal complex


contains an employee courtyard, 166-seat council chamber and a quick stop where residents can pick up quick permits and pay their utility bills. It also houses the village administrative offi ces, gym, fi t- ness facility and locker rooms, conference rooms and a broadcasting room. Also designed into the complex is a playground called Scott’s Place with facilities for children of all abilities including those with special needs. The highlight of the project is the two-story clock tower done in the Florida Vernacular Style with a standing seam metal roof. The building achieved LEED Gold status for its


implementation of several green features, including a LEED-compliant standing seam metal mansard roof with overhangs that provide shade for win- dows on both levels of the structure, a commercial rainwater harvesting system that provides water for 28 toilets in the complex and triple pane, 3/4-inch glass windows with horizontal louvers to control sunlight exposure. The design includes a full-service generator that, with the rainwater harvesting facility, allows the structure to function as an emergency command center if building power and water for toilets were not available.
