METAL ROOFING New Holy Cross Church of Christ, Trenton, N.J. The 150-year-old New Holy Church of Christ build- ing had a complete facelift but its deteriorating slate roof was weakening the building’s perfor- mance and posing a danger to its interior. ATAS International Inc. solved the problem by replacing the old slate roof with metal shingles that are lighter in weight and highly durable. The metal shingles mimic and improve the original look of the historic church. For this project, the MCA judges found it
interesting how the church used what is available now to mimic a traditional roof product and did so cost effectively.

RESIDENTIAL McElrath Residence, Chelsea, Mich. The McElrath residence is an example of how metal blends old and new. The original house, built in 1857, was in poor condition structurally and not weathertight. The interior was renovated
and additions were made with an agrarian profile. Metal was chosen by Dangerous Architects PC to achieve a permanent weathertight exterior while offering a fresh, lively exterior that reflects the home’s historic value. Metal is also brought into the interior for kitchen counters and areas where durable surfaces were needed. The judging panel thought this project was
nicely done. They commented that you don’t expect to see metal in residential projects but this is a prime example of how it can be incor- porated successfully.

HONORABLE MENTION FOR THE OVERALL USE OF METAL California ISO Headquarters, Folsom, Calif. The LEED Platinum certified ISO headquarters creates a secure and sustainable structure that

Dreyfuss & Blackford Architects chose metal as a perfect fit to meet the building’s goals of durability, longevity and inherent energy efficiency of systems. CEN- TRIA and 3A Composites USA Inc. supplied metal panels for the project. MCA judges felt this was a well-rounded
project that successfully used metal in all parts of the building, helping it to earn LEED certification.
