At the University of Utah’s Student Housing development in Salt Lake City, MHTN Architects utilized Longboard T&G Planks in Light Cherry with a 6″ V-Groove profile to bring warmth and visual rhythm to the exterior façade. The natural wood-look finish creates a welcoming residential feel while aligning with the modern architectural language of the campus. This installation showcases how durable aluminum materials can deliver both beauty and functionality in a high-use academic setting.
