Patina Spotlight: University of North Carolina School of the Arts

For a striking Swisspearl Patina legacy reference in the South East USA look no further than the University of North Carolina School of the Arts in Winston-Salem, NC. As a legacy project reference for Patina in the US, this Swisspearl facade was designed to complement the campus’s architectural identity while ensuring long-term durability and sustainability.

A key element of this build is the integration of Swisspearl Patina Fiber Cement Panels, which provide both functional and aesthetic advantages.
