When provided with the opportunity to renovate Northridge Local Schools in Ohio, Superintendent David Jackson could see the potential to develop an iconic landmark that would stand out in the community. The end result was a unique iceberg-like structure serving as the building’s centerpiece, a suitable design for the home of the polar bears, the school’s mascot. Levin Porter Architects took up the project, where CEO Mark Wiseman recalled, “I kinda have a crazy idea…what do you think if we stick a giant iceberg at the front?”

ALPOLIC metal composite materials (MCM) are some of the most sought-after architectural products because of their quality, versatility and the wide range of finishes.
