The $500 million multi-purpose Fiserv Forum is the cornerstone of a 30-acre sports and entertainment district in downtown Milwaukee. The arena features 714,000-square-feet and seats 17,000 people. It is also the new home of the NBA Milwaukee Bucks and the NCAA Marquette Golden Eagles. The architects envisioned a building that mimicked the look of the Wisconsin woodland lakes landscape with panels that had color and texture like tree bark, but were arranged in a wave-resembling formation


MG McGrath fabricated and installed 317,000 square feet of VM Zinc and Centria metal wall panels on the exterior of the new Fiserv Forum. The VM Zinc material was fabricated by MG McGrath into our own H-Seam panel system with a custom Patina finish. All of the Centria Metal Wrap Insulated Metal Wall Panels and Centria BR5-36 Aluminum Panels feature a Champagne Gold and Pewter 3-coat paint finish

McGrath didn’t just show us what the next steps were, they took them with us. The project came out better than we imagined because they were involved.
