Set along the Charles River on a historic military site in Boston’s Watertown neighborhood, the Talcott Avenue Life Science Campus will bring cutting-edge research labs and offices to a fast-growing innovation corridor. Designed by SGA, the development features clean, modern façades using ACM panels supported by ECO Cladding systems—delivering both architectural impact and long-term performance in a high-tech setting.
ECO Cladding provided a subframing solution to support the TAKLT UHPC and ACM metal panel façade on the Charlton College of Business at UMass Dartmouth. Designed by NBBJ, the building features a clean, contemporary exterior that reflects the college’s forward-thinking approach to business education. The cladding system supports both aesthetics and performance, offering durability, thermal efficiency, and ease of installation. ECO’s engineered attachment systems ensured compliance with evolving building envelope standards while accommodating the precision demands of ACM panel design.
Exterior work is progressing at 204 4th Avenue in Brooklyn, a 13-story mixed-use residential building designed by L+Z Architecture. Supported by ECO Cladding’s engineered attachment system, the façade features sleek ACM panels that contribute to the building’s modern aesthetic and performance-driven envelope. Developed by Avery Hall and Gindi Capital, the 200,000-square-foot project includes 193 rental units and 14,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space. ECO Cladding’s rainscreen support system ensures durability, precision alignment, and thermal efficiency on this prominent Gowanus development.
The A.M. Davis Elementary School project, designed by Moseley Architects of Richmond, features a modernized façade utilizing ACM panels supported by ECO Cladding’s engineered rainscreen attachment system. This upgrade brings a sleek, contemporary look to the school while enhancing long-term durability and energy efficiency. ECO’s adjustable subframing ensures precise alignment and seamless integration of the ACM materials across the building envelope. The result is a revitalized educational environment that balances aesthetics, performance, and resilience.
The Aligned Energy Data Center in Phoenix, designed by SNHA of Chicago, features 33,000 square feet of metal panels supported by ECO Cladding’s versatile subframing system. As the demand for AI infrastructure and data storage continues to grow, this high-performance facility showcases the importance of efficient, scalable building envelopes. ECO Cladding’s adjustable attachment system provided the flexibility to support the metal panel façade with precision and durability. This project highlights how ECO systems adapt to a variety of panel types, delivering both thermal performance and long-term resilience for mission-critical facilities.
Located in Washington, DC’s emerging NoMa neighborhood, the Armature Works redevelopment transforms a formerly industrial block into a dynamic, transit-oriented mixed-use community. Designed by Shalom Baranes Associates Architects, the project includes two residential towers and a hotel, unified by a large podium that spans over adjacent train lines. ECO Cladding was utilized to support 118,000 square feet of ACM panels, contributing to a refined, contemporary façade system across the site. A signature 30-foot-high public plaza connects the community to the NoMa/Gallaudet Metro station, creating a new urban gateway while framing dramatic views of the Amtrak corridor.
Located at 1000 South Capitol Street SE in Washington, DC, this luxury condominium project showcases the performance and versatility of ECO Cladding’s adjustable rainscreen systems. Designed by Shalom Baranes Associates, a leading architectural firm renowned for sophisticated rainscreen applications, the building incorporates both Swisspearl HDFC fiber cement panels and ACM to achieve a sleek, modern façade. ECO Cladding’s engineered subframing provided the necessary adjustability and structural support to accommodate multiple cladding materials across complex elevations. This project exemplifies how ECO’s systems enable design freedom while meeting the highest standards for durability, thermal performance, and long-term value.
The Sigma Vci System incorporates stainless steel Sigma U Brackets oriented vertically, to provide the engineered building block components for the vertically oriented C.I. Sub-framing layer.
The Sigma Hci System incorporates stainless steel Sigma U Brackets oriented horizontally, to provide the engineered building block components for the horizontally oriented C.I. Sub-framing layer. Sigma U brackets are available in multiple sizes to create various cavity depths.
Panel sub-framing system with stainless steel Sigma wall brackets for ACM and metal plate panels.
ECO Cladding’s Sigma U stainless steel brackets have low thermal conductivity and an isolator pad to reduce heat loss and significantly decrease thermal bridging.
