Overly Panels to Help Bring Aviation-Inspired Design to Life
REPS is excited to be a part of the Think Dayton project—the very first building to break ground in the new onMain Innovation District in Dayton, Ohio.
With a rich history of aviation in the area, the building is making headlines for its one-of-a-kind aviation-inspired design by NBBJ Architects. To mimic the nearby airport, the roof was designed to look like an airplane wing—a feat requiring precise custom fabrication, which is where OVERLY Panel Systems® by ECMS comes in.
OVERLY is fabricating the custom wall panels, creating the seamless, aerodynamic aesthetic the architects envisioned.
With over 135 years of experience, OVERLY panels combine durability, modern design, and eco-friendliness.
