A total of 4,300 square feet of white and gray tile from the Monolith Collection by Marazzi Architectural – supplied through Great Lakes Distribution of Madison, WI — was used to create a ventilated wall system for the exterior of the First Bank & Trust in Skokie, IL. The architects at Behles & Behles of Evanston, IL, designed the building to meet LEED Gold certification as established by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) and verified by the Green Building Certification Institute (GBCI). The bank had approached the architects to take the lead with a green initiative. The panels, which are primarily white with the gray used as an accent border, measure 24 x 48 inches. For the interior, 1,750 square feet of Marazzi’s Monolith in two formats -- 24- x 48- and 12- x 24-inch -- and in both white and gray was specified. The project was installed by DTI of Illinois, Inc. in Chicago, IL.
