FALK partnered with Design-Build General Contractor Janotta & Herner to supply both wall and roof insulated metal panels for the new facility.

The 67,000-square-foot Ross Exposition Center features versatile free-span spaces, cutting-edge video walls, and full climate control. The facility includes a large event space, office areas, and a wash bay, making it ideal for tradeshows, hobby shows, concerts, livestock shows, and more.

The exterior showcases FALK’s HFW40 wall panel in HPS Hamlet on the exterior, paired with SSR42 roof panels in PVDF Hartford Green. Both wall and roof systems feature a PE Bright White finish on the interior, providing a clean and modern aesthetic.

This new facility combines versatility and functionality with the durability and energy efficiency of FALK’s insulated metal panel systems, ensuring that the Ross Exposition Center will serve Lorain County’s event needs for decades to come.
