Follow on Google News | MSU Spartans Store for Success with Banker Wire MeshNorth End Zone Complex Addition Includes New 5,000-Square-Foot Locker Room
By: Banker Wire Colleges and universities increasingly rely on state-of-the- The 5,000-square- “We looked at several materials to use as embellishments. Banker Wire mesh had an upscale look and was still durable enough to use in an athletic environment,” Integrated Design Solutions sought an alternative to traditional wood lockers. For that purpose, they turned to Banker Wire, eventually selecting the M44-2 weave. This pattern features groups of four wires that intersect in a plaid-like pattern, adding visual interest to the lockers, and allowing their users to place hangers and other items almost anywhere they choose. In stainless steel, it complements the Spartan green used throughout the facility. The M44-2 weave used at Michigan State University is a lock crimp pattern. Lock crimps are characterized by straight sections of wire connected by a well-defined “bump” at their intersections. Thanks to these strong connection points, lock crimp offers strength essential for a facility used by some of the nation’s best college athletes. Before playing hard on the field, players can grab their gear from hard-working, durable Banker Wire mesh. “The Banker Wire technical staff was very willing to work with us and find the best possible answers to our questions,” says Adrian La Tona, architectural designer, Integrated Design Solutions. The $24.5 million renovation was completed in August 2014. The project team also included general contractor Barton Malow, Southfield, MI. Barton Malow’s CEO is a Michigan State graduate. End
