American Heritage Museum

American Heritage Center and Art Museum

Conceived in 1986 and completed in 1993, the American Heritage Center by acclaimed architect Antoine Predock , is a unique structure which pays tribute to it's locale, in Laramie, Wyoming. Predock describes it as a mountain "like an airplane wing, aerodynamically positioned with respect to Wyoming's omnipresent winds."

The rain-screen facade Zahner installed is in fact the result of using the same tools those in the aerospace industry use to design planes and space shuttles. The hundreds of metal panels lay flat using our coplanar flat seam system, much the same way that hundreds of panels on a jet are nearly seamlessly stitched together.

What especially differentiates this project from anything done in any other industry or by any other metal facade company in the world, is it's dark patina on copper. Our blackened copper patinas becomes darker as it ages, and does not easily scratch or rub off. Our process for developing this patina is one of our many trade secrets.

Openings along the cone allow light in while breaking up the geometry of the curving shape. The structure is one of several projects that Zahner produced for Antoine Predock.
