Milwaukee Art Museum

PROJECT OVERVIEW: Located on the shore of Lake Michigan, the 125,000 sq. ft. addition to the Milwaukee Art Museum, a stunning design by world-renowned architect/engineer Santiago Calatrava is complemented by its excellent construction.

Featuring sweeping architectural finishes like free-form concrete buttresses and white metal exteriors, including the roof, the addition is a standout design and installation collaboration. All three of OVERLY Panel System by East Coast Metal System’s roofing systems, Batten B, Bermuda, and Evolution, as well as some flatlock, were utilized on this project. Also, portions of the pavilion walls, the Brise Soleil, and the cable walkway that links the museum with Milwaukee’s downtown district are made from our custom-profile wall panel system.
