The World’s largest ice festival takes place each year in Heilongjiang in North-East China. The Harbin International Ice and Snow festival, as it is known, attracts nearly 18 millions visitors who have the opportunity to witness truly spectacular works of art, including castles and sculptures, all created from one ingredient, frozen H2O.

There’s no denying that 2018 was a good year for the commercial construction industry. Construction spending increased and unemployment went down as we continue to see construction firms struggle with skilled labor shortages. But, what is in store for 2019? Experts predict it will be another good year, with perhaps slower growth than we saw in 2018. There’s also new technology to factor in, as well uncertainty over material costs to consider. Click here to read more trends to watch for commercial construction in 2019.

Skip Viragh Outpatient Cancer Building
The new building is situated on the Northeast corner of Fayette Street and North Broadway on the Johns Hopkins medical campus; one of the highest elevations in East Baltimore. It is named for Albert P. “Skip” Viragh, a Maryland mutual fund investment leader, philanthropist, and pancreatic cancer patient who was treated at John Hopkins. The 184,000 square foot center is expected to treat 180 current patients daily, as well as 60 to 80 new patients each week.
For this project, MillerClapperton fabricated 9,850 square feet of High Pressure Laminate material panels, which were installed in the driveway entry canopy and inside in the vestibule & lobby, waiting rooms, and surrounding the elevator doors. |

EAMC Cancer Center
The East Alabama Medical Center (EAMC) approved plans in the Spring of 2017 to move forward with building a new cancer center, as the current cancer center was at capacity. The $40 million project is well underway and expected to be complete by this summer. At double the size of the current facility, the future center will allow EAMC to offer new services and expand the ones they already have. For this project, MillerClapperton is fabricating 20,000 square feet of Metal Composite Material.
