Metal Roofing Gives Florida Stadium A Pop of Color
Petersen’s Tite-Loc Plus in Terra Cotta brightens a renovated softball stadium at the University of Florida in Gainesville.
Metal roofing contractor Thorne Metal Systems of Jacksonville, Florida, handled the installation of an orange-red metal roof at the University of Florida in Gainesville. The signature color crowned atop the renovated Katie Seashole Pressly Softball Stadium at the campus pays homage to the university’s early days.
“The university is known for its collegiate gothic architecture and high-pitch, orange-red gable roofs,” says Joe Walker, AIA, president of Walker Architects, the local firm that designed the stadium. “This project ran with the roof as the character-defining element of the exterior, and the final design is a direct nod to the collegiate gothic style.”
