Why MetalWrap Series
The architect wanted to use an insulated wall system so they would not have to sacrifice energy efficiency in the harsh Alaskan winter.
Site Experience
The Goose Creek Correctional Centers is one of the largest construction projects to take place in Alaska and serves as a 1,536 bed, medium-security correctional center for long-term male felony offenders.
The architect was seeking a modern design and wanted to use profiled metal foam panels. Due to the harsh Alaskan weather, the architect also explored and picked ICBP technology to compliment the already selected exterior profiled rainscreen system, as well as increase energy efficiency.
Designing in the Alaskan environment has its challenges. Contractors loved that it provided a fast way to get the building dry and insulated without risking damage to the final exterior skin, which was installed later in the construction schedule.
