Explore CEI Materials’ AIA Continuing Education Courses
At CEI Materials, we believe continuing education should help architects and design teams navigate those decisions with more confidence. That’s why we offer three AIA-approved Continuing Education courses focused on fabrication, cladding systems, modular panel technology, and the growing role of branding in the built environment.
Prefabrication at Scale: CLADLOK Modular Panels at the Southeast Michigan Psychiatric Hospital
The Southeast Michigan Psychiatric Hospital exemplifies the role prefabrication and modular façade systems can play in delivering complex, mission-driven projects—where schedule certainty, quality, and collaboration matter as much as aesthetics.
As Michigan continues to invest in modernizing its mental health infrastructure, CEI is proud to contribute to projects that support care, dignity, and long-term community impact through thoughtful fabrication and execution.
Understanding the Differences Between Plate and Aluminum Composite Material
When it comes to exterior wall systems, architects and contractors have more choices than ever before. At CEI Materials, two of the most specified cladding options are Solid Metal Plate and Aluminum Composite Material (ACM/MCM). Both offer durability, design flexibility, and long-term performance—but each has unique features that make it better suited for specific project goals.
