As the Shamrock Trading Company grew, so too did the need for parking.  Shamrock moved about 1,000 employees onto their new campus and the new parking garage is a vital component to the development of the area.

SSM presented our 900 Series Panel System as a solution for the parking garage cladding components.  It is a proven and tested system that is robust, meeting all open joint rain screen criteria.  Fabricated from .090″ aluminum, this approach provides superior flatness versus a thinner gauge solution.

Framed in with the glazing components, the 900 Series Panel System helps define key areas of the garage.

The perforated panels feature a custom perforation pattern created by the Design Team at Bell / Knott.  Utilizing 3/16″ thick aluminum plate, SSM perforated the graphic representation of prairie grasses.  The appearance is enhanced by the addition of 3″ x 8″ aluminum tube sections to support and frame the perforated panels while also providing visual interest.

Additionally, SSM installed the decorative , GKD stainless steel mesh panels located above the vehicular entry point.  Each panel is almost 15′ wide x 20′ tall and is held in place via spring tensioned connections back to steel angles.

Finishing touches included the coping trims, gutters and down spouts.
