M.G. McGrath collaborated with architect firm, Robert Siegel Architects, to fabricate the facade for the U.S. Land Port of Entry in Calais, Maine. A structure hailed as, “welcoming but secure, open but closed, flexible but permanent” by columnist Marcy Marro, this facade effortlessly allows officers the ability to survey the site from within the building without being exposed to outside elements. This project provided many unique challenges and detail requirements that M.G. McGrath successfully created…all the while showcasing the architect’s The subtle design that captures the “dynamic conditions” of Maine’s changing seasons.
