MUNICIPAL Port Pavilion on Broadway Pier, San Diego The Port Pavilion project features new colors and applications on a traditional structure. The 52,000-square-foot structure adds a passenger facility plus space for the U.S. Customs and Border Protection services to the existing pier. Sustainability was a driving force on the project, which is expected to receive the USGBC’s LEED Silver certification. Metal was selected for its light weight, forgiving nature to seismic movement, timesav- ing installation, recycled content, recyclability and low mainte- nance. The striking visual appearance is achieved with color- shifting coatings from PPG Industries on the metal wall panels, supplied by Morin, a Kingspan Group company. The wall and roof coatings also meet cool roof requirements. According to the MCA judges, the project was chosen
because of the use of conventional materials in a very creative way to create a modern looking building originating from a 90-year-old pier.

EDUCATION-PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOLS Erich Kunzel Center for Arts and Education, Cincinnati The Cincinnati Public Schools’ Erich Kunzel Center is a great example of metal’s versatility. The main feature of the building is its “urban curve.” It reflects the school’s dynamic education program and provides a striking contrast to the masonry forms of this building and those around it. Contrasting this are large stainless steel shingles in polished and matte finishes, and pre-weathered zinc wall cladding. The interlocking tile system utilized is from RHEINZINK America Inc. This 253,000-square- foot facility is the school system’s first to have private donor funding. The MCA judges took note of how multiple materials were
integrated beautifully into this project. Metal tiling, diagonal banding and grid detail are all handled very well.
