ANNUAL KALKREUTH CHRISTMAS PARTY


DECEMBER 2018 – Kalkreuth Roofing and Sheet Metal (KRSM) and East Coast Metal Systems (ECMS) gathered together for the annual company-wide Christmas Party at the Wheeling Park White Palace in Wheeling, West Virginia.

Captain Crystal Carringer and her husband Cpt Benny attended the party to collect the toys and show appreciation for the thoughtful donations on behalf of the Salvation Army. Altogether, over 200 toys were collected during this year’s party.

In addition, all leftover food from the party, catered by Whisk Bakery + Catering, and a fully-decorated Christmas tree from Oglebay Institute’s Festival of Trees, were donated to the Salvation Army for a local assisted living senior center, Montani Towers.

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.
