Crimson Club🏀 - Decorative Feature Elements

Creating a connected experience between the concourse and the concession stand, The Crimson Club celebrates KU’s basketball legacy.

In response to the design team’s efforts, SSM worked with solid aluminum plate and woven wire mesh to create the various feature elements and column covers.

The picture frame openings are fabricated from. 1/2″ aluminum plate attached to custom hardware with counter sunk, torx fasteners.

The bar shelving units are fabricated from 1/4″ plate, with tabs that connect to the backer panel. Tabs are welded to the backer panel from behind for a clean appearance and the completed assembly was painted.

Bar elements are picture framed with a “knife edge” 1/8″ thick frame that utilizes our gravity lock connection system that captures a custom perforated 1/4″ aluminum plate. All components painted in the signature colors shown.

11th & Mississippi- David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium 🏈

Design partners HNTB and Multistudio collaborated to reinvent the college stadium experience. The Gateway District is a mixed use development that incorporates year round meeting spaces and improvements to the football stadium — transforming the KU campus from the ground up.

SSM‘s work included the fabrication and installation of the fin elements between the light stands. Fabricated from 1/2″ thick aluminum “T” sections that have an 8″ wide fl**ge and are 10″ deep, these features march around the outside of the bowl, creating a signature feature of the stadium. The top portion of the. fins is curved inward, with. a 43’. – 6″ radius, as if these are stalks of wheat, gently being blown by the wind.

Behind the fin elements, 3 different panel profiles create the cladding for the bowl. Two profiles are painted in champagne bronze color while the third is in metallic finish.

SSM also clad the score. board, creating a new feature focal point at the open end of the bowl and installed feature elements in the interior spaces — included, but not limited to the Kriskadecor metal curtains.

Kansas Department of Health & Environment Lab - Terra Cotta Rainscreen System 🔬

Clad with a terra cotta shingle system, this three-story building houses labs and offices designed to serve the citizens of Kansas.

A state-of-the-art building should have a state of the art envelop to protect it and this open joint rain screen cladding system does just that. With the economy of a modular tile that is light weight and uniform in size, one terra cotta shingle nests into the other in a progressive install. While the design sheds much of the moisture that hits the building, it doesn’t stop it all and that is where a well designed and installed rain screen system comes into play.

The key is to manage that moisture is such a way as to capture it and redirect it out back to daylight. SSM installed a series of horizontal support tracks carry the shingles while allowing gravity to do the thing it likes to do with any moisture behind the system. Flashing components, working with the waterproof membrane, redirects the moisture out. While the trims finish off the exposed edges of the shingles at corners, around windows and the other openings around the building.

SSM also fabricated and installed the other cladding components like the insulated metal panels, the mechanical screens, column covers, fascia cladding and trims.

Working together, these components provide a beautiful, long lasting cladding solution that will protect the interior of this building for years to come.

Seed Pod at Olathe Indian Creek Library💎

Seed is a striking steel and aluminum sculpture inspired by the form of a giant elm seed—appearing as if it’s filled with light and just beginning to open. The two sculptural halves gently cup a central pathway within the plaza of the new Indian Creek Library in Olathe, Kansas, creating an inviting passage for visitors entering the space.

The piece features two distinct finishes that reflect both the rawness of fabrication and the beauty of transformation. The exterior shell is constructed with bolted and tabbed connections and intentionally left unpolished, revealing the authentic marks of the fabrication process. In contrast, the interior is clad with highly polished stainless-steel panels that capture the East–West sunlight across the site while reflecting light from LED fixtures at its base.

This contrast highlights the protective, textured exterior of an elm seed while revealing the bright potential within—symbolizing growth, knowledge, and opportunity. Seed reflects the City of Olathe’s vision of nurturing the next generation while guiding them toward a bright and beautiful future.

Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library – Medora, North Dakota

We’re proud to be contributing to the construction of the new Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library, set to open on July 4th, 2026 in Medora, North Dakota!

Highlighted in this project are the custom skylights fabricated from 7-gauge weathering steel. Designed to blend seamlessly with the surrounding landscape, the natural weathering properties of this product allows the skylights to complement the rugged beauty of the Badlands while creating a striking architectural feature.

These elements not only integrate with the environment but also provide a unique visual experience—bringing natural light into the space while maintaining the building’s connection to the terrain that inspired Theodore Roosevelt.

Built to take a beating.🪨

This custom rock crusher was fabricated using 1" AR400 abrasion-resistant plate, paired with heavy-duty structural steel beams and tube to handle extreme impact and wear. Designed for durability, performance, and long service life in demanding environments—this project is all about strength where it counts.
Proud of the craftsmanship and teamwork that went into bringing this piece of equipment to life. 💪
