Portsmouth Abbey Student Center

As part of the school’s master plan, the Portsmouth Abbey School’s new 8,000 SF student center serves as a viewing porch to Narragansett Bay. It features a custom perforated and pre-patinated copper screen referencing historic campus buildings nearby. Not only beautiful, the copper screen panels moderate both heat and solar gain.

Crocker Architectural Sheet Metal engineered these 48-ounce thick copper panels and mounting system, with metal finishing services completed by DLSS Manufacturing, who carefully executed the copper panel patination process. The result is both functional and symbolic.
