Completed in August 2010, the Williamson College of Business at Youngstown State University in Youngstown, Ohio, is a threestory, $34 million facility that encompasses nearly a full city block. The structure features approximately 15,000 square feet of Woburn, Mass.-based RHEINZINK 0.8-mm pre-weathered graphite-gray (PWGG) Angled Seam panels fabricated by Firestone Metal Products in Anoka, Minn.

“This new building will provide the spaces, technologies and professional environment necessary to keep YSU competitive in recruiting and retaining the best students and faculty,” says Dean Betty Jo Licata. The 110,000-square-foot building serves 2,000 business students and includes a 200-seat auditorium, industrial history gallery and café, plus classrooms and labs.

The design concept for the brick and natural metal façade was created by the Minneapolis office of Perkins + Will. Strollo Architects, Youngstown, was the architect of record.

On-site panel curving equipment and services was provided by Metal Panel Systems, Cincinnati. Metal-Era Inc., Waukesha, Wis., supplied the project’s coping system fabricated from RHEINZINK PWGG material. All zinc wall panel and coping installation was completed by ARJ Inc. of Wickliffe, Ohio.
