Munger Hosts AIA Continuing Education Lunch & Learn at QA+M Architecture

Pat Munger Construction Company, Inc., in collaboration with Varco Pruden Buildings, recently led an AIA Continuing Education Credit Lunch & Learn at QA+M Architecture’s office. The session focused on how pre-engineered metal building (PEMB) systems are reshaping the future of commercial and industrial design.

Attendees earned official AIA continuing education credit while exploring the advantages of building with steel. The discussion centered around the performance, sustainability, and flexibility of PEMBs and how they support modern architectural needs.

Key Takeaways for Architecture and Design Professionals:

Design Flexibility

• Versatile aesthetics that suit both traditional and modern architecture

• A wide range of colors, textures, and finishes

• Customizable layouts to meet spatial and functional goals

Sustainability and Environmental Responsibility

• Steel is highly recyclable, contributing to a circular economy

• Reflective roof coatings and advanced insulation reduce overall energy consumption

• Sustainable manufacturing processes help lower a building’s carbon impact

Durability and Long-Term Value

• Built to withstand extreme conditions without warping, cracking, or rotting

• Modern corrosion-resistant coatings offer long-lasting performance

• Extended warranties available, including a 25-year rust-through warranty on Galvalume panels

This Lunch & Learn is part of Munger’s ongoing effort to support architects and designers by offering access to AIA-accredited educational opportunities.
