PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Tyson Discovery Center, opened in January 2007 is located on the campus of the Tyson World Headquarters in Springdale, Arkansas. The 285,000 square foot Discovery Center was designed to help the company create new products for the ever-changing needs of their customers. The facility houses test kitchens, a pilot plant and office space.

This "rain screen design" project required over 30,000 square feet of VaproShield's green WallShield under the Trespa panels.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

WallShield is inert and can be recycled into its original bead form for reuse in other manufacturing processes.
