The Edie’s Crossing office condominium development in Saratoga Springs,
N.Y., offers the small business or professional person the opportunity to buy or lease high-quality, Class A space in a park-like space. Six additional 20,000-square-foot buildings are planned for the office park. The design-build project used a preengineered metal building frame from American Buildings Co., Eufaula, Ga., for the structure.
“The job started as a classic cottage design to fit the personality of the area, but about halfway through it was determined the building needed to have a more high-tech, sharper look to attract a broader range of tenants,” notes John Paone, project architect, Paone Architecture PC, Saratoga Springs. “The flexibility of the [Lewisville, Texas-based] Metl-Span panels allowed us to change the look of the building completely and with virtually no cost increase. With the pre-engineered building and the modular panels, we were able to redesign the look just by changing the colors and switching to a horizontal application. That was huge.”
Approximately 14,000 square feet of Metl- Span insulated metal panels in two profiles were used on the first building. The panels were installed in both horizontal and vertical applications. More than 7,200 square feet of 3-inch CF42 Santa Fe wall panels in Regal Gray were installed vertically, along with approximately 3,600 square feet of 3-inch CF24 and CF30 Striated wall panels in Cool Zinc Gray that were installed horizontally.
“Being metal building guys, we like the productivity and efficiency of the insulated panel,” says Mike Munter, vice president of Munter Enterprises Inc., Middle Grove, N.Y., the general contractor. “You generally visit the wall once and you’re done. In this case, of course, we had some interior framing and drywall work to be done.”
Munter reports the greatest challenge was coordinating the layout of the windows and doors to line up with the panels in the horizontal application. “But everything went smoothly,” Munter adds
