  Join us as we partner with Manna for PensaCAN 2026! The event is hosted by Cordova Mall - A Simon Mall.

  PensaCAN is a competition where teams create impressive structures made entirely out of full cans of food. 

  Following a week-long display of the structures (and posters with images of digital designs) and voting, all food is then donated to Manna for distribution to our neighbors in need in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties.

  Food structures will be built at Cordova Mall in the common area between Dillard’s and Ross on Thursday, October 1, and will be on display through Friday, October 9.

  A panel of judges will vote on the structures on Friday, October 2, in categories such as Best Graphics, Best Nutrition, and Structural Ingenuity Award.

  You can get involved too! People’s Choice Award votes will be accepted online at www.mannahelps.org October 2-9!

  Come out to Cordova Mall and support our local architects and build teams in the fight against hunger!

  Bring your design ideas to life at this interactive networking event, where architects and designers can “mix” their project concepts with a range of materials, styles, and design intents—from hospitality and education to wood, metal, felt, color, geometric forms, and more. We’ll explore how these concepts translate into real-world products and projects, showcasing the breadth of capabilities available through Armstrong and inspiring new possibilities for your next design.

  Improved Natural Disaster Design Using Rolling Doors

  Course Number COR800

  1 HSW

  Course Description

  Learn how different closure options can protect a building while also keeping natural light flow; how service, insulated and fire doors can be configured to withstand the full range of specific wind loads requirements (including missile impact ratings); and the importance of third party testing for closure products. Attendees will:

  • Understand the difference between operable and static wind load ratings, and what it means for the rest of the building.
  • Understand new regulations, particularly those recently introduced in the mid-states, including FEMA P-361 and ICC500.
  • Detail the importance of fortifying building openings in wind-prone areas.
  • Identify how necessary function can meet aesthetic objectives using coiling doors vs. traditional swing doors.

  Enhancing Outdoor Living - Current Trends

  & The Role of Aluminum Shade Structures

  
  

  1 HSW/LU

  
  

  Course Description

  This course delves into the increasing and expanding role of outdoor living and its importance in households, businesses, and communities. Reviewed are the styles and specification considerations of aluminum shading products. The focus is pergolas and cabanas, made with insulated, dual-walled aluminum louvers that seal completely to block rain and snow and complement any architectural style.

  Learning Objectives:

  • Examine the current trends in outdoor living, including using outdoor spaces as an extension of indoor activities like socializing, cooking, and entertaining.
  • State how modern aluminum cover structures for residential and commercial applications have been adapted to bioclimatic designs that leverage an eco-conscious approach.
  • Discuss the role of pergolas and cabanas in expanding livable spaces, enhancing year-round outdoor living, and improving occupant comfort and wellness.
  • Describe the materials, styles, and specification considerations for shade structures to ensure a durable, low-maintenance, long-lasting solution.
