Hamstra Heating and Cooling recently opened its 15,304-square-foot office facility in Tucson, Arizona, to high accolades, winning the Metal Building Systems-New Award from Metal Construction News.

The building is a hybrid, pre-engineered, metal structure that maximizes aesthetics, energy efficiencies, and the speed of construction. Unique building features include a gabion and glass entry structure, an integral pre-engineered canopy and courtyard screen wall, rainwater harvesting, building signage integrated into the overall architectural design, and a shaded courtyard area, which employees use for breaks and lunch. Additionally, every employee who’s been with Hamstra for more than 20 years has a paving stone in the courtyard, called the Courtyard of Honor.
