Designed by renown architect David Salmela, The Bagley Nature Area is a LEED  Platinum outdoor  
teaching laboratory that opened in 2010 at the University of Minnesota Duluth. A notable contribution  
to those LEED points came from the use of Richlite, both in the building's interior and exterior. The  
picture shown above features Midnight Iron Richlite RainShadow exterior cladding that is composed  
of FSC Certified and post consumer recycled waste and manufactured with Richlite's Waste-to-  
Energy technology. The rainscreen panels protect the building's interior from moisture and increase  
it's R-value by providing excellent insulation.
