Classroom arrangement key to design

Completed in August 2009, the new 175,900-square-foot (16,341-m2) New Davis Junior High School in Layton, Utah, provides state-of-the-art design with the classroom arrangement in three separate, grade-level specific, double-lobed academic learning centers.

Metal cladding from Houston-based MBCI highlights the building’s exterior, creating sinuous green forms. Each entance is clearly identified by the icon of the green panels. The project features MBCI’s 0.032-aluminum PBU perforated panels in Laurel Green, painted on both the front and back of the panel; 0.032-aluminum PBU panels in Laurel Green, painted on one side; 24-gauge Artisan panels in Tundra; and 24-gauge PBU panels in Tundra and Galvalume Plus.

VCBO Architecture, Salt Lake City, was the architect; Hogan & Associates, Salt Lake City, was the general contractor; and All Metals Fabrication, Ogden, Utah, was the roofing contractor.
