Join us as we partner with Manna for PensaCAN 2024! The event is hosted by Cordova Mall - A Simon Mall.

PensaCAN is a competition where teams create impressive structures made entirely out of full cans of food. 

Following a week-long display of the structures (and posters with images of digital designs) and voting, all food is then donated to Manna for distribution to our neighbors in need in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties.

Food structures will be built at Cordova Mall in the common area between Dillard’s and Ross on Thursday, October 3, and will be on display through Friday, October 11.

A panel of judges will vote on the structures on Friday, October 4, in categories such as Best Meal Award, Best Use of Labels Award, and Structural Ingenuity Award.

You can get involved too! People’s Choice Award votes will be accepted online at www.mannahelps.org October 4-11!

Come out to Cordova Mall and support our local architects and build teams in the fight against hunger!

Thank you sponsors!

Designing with Architectural Insulated Metal Panels

The core learning objectives for this class all comprise of fundamentally understanding the concept of a metal panel. We will identify market sectors for architectural insulated metal panels, learn about the thermal performance advantages of these panels, and discuss the basics of panel installation.

We will also explore how insulated metal panels perform the necessary envelope control functions via single-component systems while accelerating speed of build.

This course will also describe the aesthetics, design flexibility and integrated accessories available for architectural insulated metal panels.
