IMPs Can Keep Even Phoenix Cool
And Costs Down
As a publicly funded project, the Monument at the Rushmore Plaza Civic Center had to deliver quality and cost-efficiency. Insulated Metal Panels (IMPs) allowed for optimized use of materials, reduced waste, and the ability to stay ahead of an aggressive construction schedule. The result is a building envelope system that consolidates five wall components into one product, creating a distinct profile for any design.
