Gateway
Medical Center was a new hospital project in Clarksville, TN,
consisting of Entry Systems, Radius-Topped Curtainwall, Punched
Windows, Exterior Storefront, and Interior Storefront. |

Camera
World
was a small “fun” local project using Storefront and Entry
Systems in a new construction that was shaped like a potato in plan,
with several different radii in many directions. |

Edificio
Plaza Centen’ario
was a very challenging and gratifying project in several ways. As the
project was located in Sao Paulo, Brazil, the only person
involved with the project who could speak a smattering of English was
the Curtainwall sales rep, who retired during the progress of the
project. All the project documents were in Portuguese and used the
Metric system. Shop Drawings had to be prepared in Metric and communications
with the Brazilian Architect and Contractor were facilitated using a
Portuguese/English dictionary.
Responsibilities
included designing the entire exterior of this 40-story high-rise,
including Composite Panels, Curtainwall & Strip Windows. The
structure was 100% poured concrete and varied as much as 6”
plus-or-minus by floor and was out-of-plumb in several directions due to
the loose construction standards employed. Boge had to design a system
that compensated for all this, building-up structure dimensions
vertically and furring-out walls to plumb while maintaining a
hurricane-force wind load without the aid of an engineer. This was
accomplished while standardizing both panel and window dimensions for
all floors, resulting in a good appearance while minimizing fabrication
costs.
This
project was featured in Metal Architecture magazine as an
exemplary high-rise Composite Panel new construction. |

Circuit
City
was a national contract that involved designing Composite Panels
in two different finishes and modular support structures to a
prototypical design standard, which Boge helped to create. Panels had to
be designed so that they would install over modular support frames
without the need for field dimensions. Contract required a great deal of
project management and scheduling ability, as Circuit City had averaged
approximately 50 new stores per year during Boge's tenure as designer from
1992 through 2000. |

Rite-Aid
Drugs Corporate Headquarters
in Camp Hill, PA was a very large (over 200,000 square feet) Composite
panel retrofit project in 2 custom colors. This project was featured in Metal
Architecture magazine and Alusuisse product brochures as an
example of the dramatic change in exterior building design that can
result from a Composite Panel retrofit. |

Summit
Medical Center was
a new hospital project in the Nashville, TN area that incorporated Composite
Panels, Prefabricated Aluminum "Fin" Panels, Curtainwall,
Entry Systems, Strip Windows & Barrel Vault. Boge's customer was
able to sell the owner on his company primarily because Boge offered him
the ability to provide a comprehensive exterior building package from a
single design source. This allowed for seamless integration and
coordination of related trades, thus simplifying the Architect’s and
Construction Manager’s tasks and minimizing the possibility for errors
and lack of project coordination. |

CVS
Pharmacy
was a small but strikingly designed local project using Storefront
and Entry Systems to provide a corner entry vestibule with angled
sidelites and “empty” Storefront above to give a “space-frame”
look. |

Jackson
International Airport
in Jackson, MS was a retrofit project to a 40-year-old structure. The
project involved covering existing concrete structure with Composite
Panels and installing new Curtainwall with Aluminum Sun
Fins, as well as designing Kalwall Skylight in the profile of
an airplane wing for new Concourse driveways. The existing concrete
structure had sagged over the years in various degrees at the center of
each opening, so the structure had to be furred-out with hat channels
before Composite Panels could be installed. |
