Newman Center Catholic Church

Dri-Design metal wall panel over a four-storey mass with a tower, met at the entry by a deep wood soffit and vertical fins. A dry, gasket-free, sealant-free system: there is no bead anywhere in the joint to disguise a line that wanders.

On this job

Dri-Design panels interlock and the wall gets its weather performance from the pressure-equalized rainscreen behind, not from sealant. That removes the one thing most facades use to absorb a tolerance.

We set the coursing to run uninterrupted from the low mass up through the tower, so the building reads as a single surface rather than as a base with a tower stuck on top of it.
