On September 30, 2024, the Village of Pleasant Prairie proudly celebrated the grand opening of its brand-new police station with a lively ribbon-cutting and dedication ceremony. The community came together to celebrate this important milestone

This impressive Kalwall canopy came from our successful collaboration with Plunkett Raysich Architects (Milwaukee) and Riley Construction (Kenosha, WI), which brought their design to life and stands as a testament to innovation and teamwork.

One of our most interesting design challenges was the station's entrance. The owner had a bold vision: they wanted the stone cladding on the first column to be rotated 45 degrees outward, creating a striking and dynamic focal point to welcome visitors.

Structures Unlimited stepped in with a custom-fabricated column to bring this vision to life, precisely engineered to fit seamlessly within the cladding's unique footprint. The result? It is a visually appealing entrance that balances form and function, setting the tone for the modern and welcoming space inside.

Kalwall canopies provide benefits that cater to architectural aesthetics and functional requirements.


Natural Daylighting - Kalwall canopies maximize light transmission by allowing soft, diffused daylight to filter through, reducing the need for artificial lighting. This creates a naturally lit environment with even illumination, free of harsh glare and hot spots.


Weather Protection - Kalwall panels are engineered for excellent weather resistance and are designed to withstand heavy rain, snow, and strong winds. They provide durable shelter for entrances and outdoor spaces while offering UV resistance for long-term protection against sun damage and fading.


Design assistance - Many architects don't realize that Kalwall and Structures Unlimited can offer turnkey structural design and fabrication for the entire canopy structure. If designing a unique canopy element is not in your budget, let Structures Unlimited do it free of charge!


If you're planning a canopy project, we're happy to provide insights and tailored recommendations to help ensure your project's success.
