Follansbee, W.Va.-based Follansbee supplied its KlassicKolors metal roofing in Charleston Green for two structures at Butler County Community College in Butler, Pa. The metal roofing lends a vibrant aesthetic appeal and long-lasting durability to the campus’
Succop Conservancy-an environmental and cultural education center for the community.
The two buildings-an existing barn and newly constructed event shelter-required a long-lasting roofing material that was both visually pleasing and easy to install.
“We specified Follansbee metal roofing for its longevity, ease of installation and appearance,” explained Nancy Lawry, director, Succop Conservancy. “Equally important was the ability to see the interior structure of the rafters. The steel roof was able to be installed over panels placed on the exterior of the barn roof.”
A combined total of 9,790 square feet (903 m2) of KlassicKolors was used to roof the two structures. The metal panel’s solar reflective paint coatings are from Valspar, Minneapolis.
Construction on the event shelter was completed in summer 2008, while construction on the barn was completed in winter 2009. Troy Jay Construction, Slippery Rock, Pa., was the installer for the event shelter, while Bob Sloan, Butler, was the contractor for the barn. The owner is the Butler County Community College Education Fund.
As a peaceful, comfortable atmosphere that lends itself to business meetings, retreats, classes, weddings, receptions and art exhibits, The Succop Conservancy offers 50 picturesque acres including a house built in the 1830s and an outdoor reception area for weddings and gatherings. Two ponds, an herb garden and walking trails complete this scenic ceremony and reception site.
