All six shade structures are a collaboration between architect, general contractor and our own locally owned and highly renowned Pascetti Steel Design, Inc.
The massive size and shape of each structure will welcome you in with a friendly hue of bright yellow.  Just for fun, you will need to stand under one to truly appreciate and experience the daylight in several ways; which will depend on the time of day you visit.
These maintenance -free steel structures were built with precision and will stand the test of time; for generations to come. A true conversation piece!
We invite you to visit UNM campus to tour the Smith Plaza pavilion!  You will not be disappointed.

Smith Plaza, the center and heart of main campus at The University of New Mexico, has reopened after undergoing a major renovation completed by Jaynes Corporation. The design team included MRWM Landscape Architects, McClain +Yu Architects and Surface Design, Inc.

To celebrate the completion of the project, the public is invited to an official ribbon-cutting ceremony on Wednesday, Aug. 29 at 10 a.m. on the Plaza.

It’s estimated that 10,000 students travel through Smith Plaza every day.  The once mostly concrete plaza has been, “Transformed into a vibrant, safe, accessible, and comfortable ‘great room’ environment that will host academic and social activities throughout the year,” said Kim Kloeppel, UNM’s chief operations officer for Student Affairs. “The renovation now has plateaus and landings with trees, grass, and many areas for students to sit, study, and socialize.”

Damian,

Before time slips away, we here at McClain + Yu wanted to thank you and your team for the outstanding job Pascetti Steel did with the shade canopies and the Navy Bell Armature at Smith Plaza.  We enjoyed our collaborative process during design and appreciate the detail of your work, the craftsmanship, and the vision for the final product.  I sincerely hope we have the opportunity soon to collaborate with you on a next project!

 

Thanks,

Perforated metal panels are ideal for interior design, panels can be made to site-specific requirements and custom patterns are infinite.

This custom perforated metal enclosure features anti-graffiti natural aluminum finish, trimmed edges, and of course, complete installation. Pascetti Steel Design can offer custom perforation on all types of metal, including stainless steel, aluminum and Corten, so that each individual project can meet the specific needs of the architect and owner.

Perforated materials are very versatile.

Perforated panels can be readily formed, painted, easily installed, they are attractive in appearance with a wide range of thickness available, excellent wear life and durability, and can be perforated in all types of metal.

Scott H. Connely, President and CEO of Sandia Area Federal Credit Union, had this to say regarding the completed project:

“When I was a kid I just could not pronounce spaghetti correctly. It always came out “pascetti” and it is still one of my favorite foods. When I heard of Pascetti Steel Design, naturally I associated it with a good thing. When our project was completed I was truly impressed. The gleaming aluminum panels Pascetti covered our staircase with turned them into an integrated sculpture. Our building looked good, but now it looks fantastic! See for yourself! THANKS PASCETTI STEEL!”
