ANU NCI

The Super Computer facility at the ANU is wrapped beautifully in four different VM Zinc colours with a range of standing seam panel sizes. Working with zinc requires a high level of trade skill to crimp and fold all of the pieces. When done properly no silicone is required to create a water tight façade.

The highlight of the façade are the “kites” on the northern elevation which let the plant room breathe. Each kite is unique in size. Given the nature of zinc, panels can’t be scribed and adjusted. Panels hook and crimp to each other so high quality from patient tradesman is paramount.

The results speak for themselves now that this super computer facility has updated VM zinc standing seam panels and kites surrounding the facility.
