Vitrabond 4mm FR Core Aluminum Composite Material (ACM)
The Vitrabond FR (fire-resistant) core aluminum composite material (ACM) panel system features a fire-resistant core between two aluminum or natural metal sheets (like zinc, copper, or stainless steel), providing excellent surface flatness and impressive strength-to-weight ratio. The panels are designed to be easily curved, folded, or shaped for various applications.
A total of 77,000-sq. ft. of these unitized aluminum scrim panels were applied to the exterior of the Anna-Maria and Stephen Kellen Building in Rochester, MN. The design of the metal façade itself is based on the three shields in the Mayo Clinic logo: the research shield, education shield, and clinical care shield. These three shields were morphed together to create the custom pattern found in the mesh design.
