Featured ProjectScottsdsale, Arizona

Scottsdale Civic Center

Lake|Flato and Dig Studio collaborated with the City of Scottsdale to transform the Civic Center into a vibrant, family-friendly green space and premier event destination in Scottsdale’s Historic Old Town. Zahner provided engineering, fabrication, and installation expertise for key architectural elements, enhancing the park's artistic and structural identity. Surrounded by significant cultural and civic institutions, the Civic Center's design connects the city, the arts, and the community in a unified space. The Civic Center features multiple pavilions, including a new multifunctional 360-degree event structure. These purposefully designed spaces come together to create a cohesive and welcoming environment.

BOK Center

BOK Center (Bank of Oklahoma) in Tulsa, Oklahoma is a nearly 20,000 seat multi-purpose arena for sports, concerts, and massive events. The project involved Zahner's production and installation of several thousand Angel Hair stainless steel panels, each installed on a ZEPPS framework, the building block for complex architectural curves and highly efficient and accurate installations in architecture. The project called for 350,000 square feet of exterior metal panels. Designed by César Pelli of Pelli Clarke Pelli, the project was managed by Flintco and Manhattan Construction, who called the BOK Center "one of the best architectural designs in their 100-year history of building projects."
