ALPOLIC Metal Composite Materials Used in Thanksgiving Station Office Park Project in Utah

Beecher Walker Architects wanted more than just a standard “office box” for its Thanksgiving Station Office Park project. The development, located in the budding technology hub referred to as Silicon Slopes, had a clear vision: incorporating the crisp lines of modern architecture with the warm and inviting patterns of timber. The challenging Utah climate made traditional material choices impractical. In the end, the building’s cladding proved to be the biggest challenge. The design team researched various alternatives before settling on ALPOLIC Metal Composite Materials (MCM). This lightweight, affordable building material provided the look of real wood without the cost and maintenance concerns. Jory Walker, Principal, President and Lead Designer, was also impressed with the functional advantages of fabricating MCM. For Beecher Walker Architects, premium ALPOLIC MCM made the design come alive, allowing them to stay in budget without sacrificing design intent.
