The structure itself is built with a 380-profile aluminum box beam frame covered with an architectural PVC fabric in royal blue opaque and white. The structure has a translucent skylight running along it’s peak to optimize natural light and reduce lighting costs. The Power center is outfitted with an R-30 fiberglass insulation package to keep clients warm in the winter and cool in the summer. The TFS-RV series sheds snow and meets a basic wind speed of 90mph, ExpC based on IBC 2006, with a design importance factor of 1.0. UFS worked with Zerr-Berg Architects and Greystone Construction on this project.
