BELMONT CO. CHILDREN SERVICES

DECEMBER 2018- Kalkreuth Roofing and Sheet Metal (KRSM) provided a donation to the Belmont County Department of Job and Family Services again this year. The money will be used to help purchase Christmas gifts for the children and families within the organization, and Foster Care Specialist Bill Marinacci accepted the donation on their behalf.

This year, the Belmont County Department of Job and Family Services will be helping about 50 children who are in foster homes or living with families who may otherwise go without Christmas gifts. Additional gifts are also kept as backup for families who may be in need of last minute help. We are honored to be able to help with such a great cause!

BOSTON VALLEY TERRA COTTA PLANT TOUR

DECEMBER 2018- Kalkreuth Roofing and Sheet Metal (KRSM) Estimators Eric Haverty, Derek Rothermund, and Marcus Gough took a tour of Boston Valley Terra Cotta in Buffalo, New York.

During their visit, the estimators discussed projects with Boston Valley sales and estimating teams and toured the facility. The goal was to increase their knowledge and expertise of terra cotta applications contributing to a generally well-rounded vista. “With increased knowledge, we will be better communicators with our customers and more accurate in our bids,” said Marcus.

Great job guys, and keep up the good work!

PROJECT SPOTLIGHT – ENTERTAINMENT & SPORTS ARENA

DECEMBER 2018 – Kalkreuth Roofing and Sheet Metal (KRSM) is proud to have been involved in the construction of the Entertainment and Sports Arena (ESA) in Washington, DC which was completed this fall.
The Entertainment and Sports Arena was a multi-million dollar project that is now home of the Washington Mystics and used as a practice space for the Wizards— both professional basketball teams. The 120,000 square foot building is designed to seat 4,200 people inside the arena.

Originally, the design was to use terra cotta panels to match the buildings in the surrounding area, but to save on costs, it was decided to use metal wall panels in four different colors giving the building the same aesthetic appeal as terra cotta. Altogether, Kalkreuth installed over 50,000 square feet of insulated metal wall panels on the exterior. The building also achieved a LEED Silver certification through the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC).

The Entertainment and Sports Arena was also featured in the November issue of Metal Architecture Magazine. To learn more about this project and read the full article, visit www.digital.metalarchitecture.com.
