The recently completed middle school in the Denton School District is named after longtime public education advocates, Dr. Rudy and Rosemary Rodriguez. The 176,100-square-foot state-of-the-art campus is situated in the town of Oak Point and features 42 classrooms surrounded by open, collaborative learning spaces filled with natural light, as well as courtyards for educational use. MillerClapperton fabricated 2,100 square feet of High Pressure Laminate material for the project.

Americans flocked to national parks in record numbers over the past two years to take advantage of our country’s most beautiful destinations. They were also some of the few places we could travel to during the pandemic that offered socially distanced experiences by way of the great outdoors. For those not accustomed to more rustic accommodations, “parks have historically offered more opulent alternatives, both within established boundaries and in their verges.” From the Great Smoky Mountains’ Blackberry Farm to The Lodge at the Presidio overlooking San Francisco’s famed Golden Gate Bridge, there are beautiful places to stay where you can enjoy the balance between nature and luxury.

If there’s one thing we love at MillerClapperton, it’s our coffee. We really, really like coffee and according to a Harvard brain expert, that’s actually a good thing. Drinking coffee is good for you, but just how much coffee should we be drinking every day for maximum health and brain benefits? The magic elixir wakes us up in the morning and also helps us stay alert during the day, but there’s more happening on the inside, including less cognitive decline over time and lowering our chances of dying early. There are ways to get the maximum benefit from our coffee habit, and that includes drinking between 3 and 5 cups a day, but espresso and French press aren’t made equal. Read the article below to learn why there’s a difference.

Recommendation: Why so many new buildings are covered in rectangles
Produced By: Phil Edwards for Vox

Building technology has advanced significantly over the past century. There were very few options for exteriors at the turn of the 20th century, but we now have many options for a building’s façade and building enclosure has become an entire field of its own. Join Phil Edwards on his journey to discover why so many new building “are covered in rectangles”, how rainscreens protect the integrity of the structure, and why designers are incorporating these systems into their projects. (Bonus! You’ll also get to see MillerClapperton project, the Fairfield Area Library, where we fabricated 12,400 square feet of High Pressure Laminate material)
