The portion of the building using the Petrach Panels was intended to be the big statement of the overall building composition and lent itself to using a unique material. This portion of the building was meant to be a twisting mass interacting and intersecting with the twisting mass element of the glass curtainwall. We were looking for a unique material but also needed a product that provided both natural colors and natural textures. These two qualities meshed well with the brick masonry used elsewhere on the building façade. One additional advantage of Petrarch is its ability to provide tonal variations of whatever primary color or colors one may select. We ended up with two color tones on this project.

I think everyone who was involved in any way on this project should be pleased with the outcome. Both Omnis and the Petrach team provided great services for our designers from design through construction. More importantly, we hope that those who work in the facility or are visiting for medical treatments are pleased with the facility.
