Interesting doors in that RTD structure. Note the circular hole near the top of the [split] door, presumably to allow catenary to enter the structure without door interference. I'm glad I'm not paying the heat bills.
As to whether a newly built structure has a "traditional" corrugated steel appearance or a different [more "modern"] panel profile is not much more than a style choice for the building skin; the structure frame and overall building envelope doesn't change with a different steel panel profile. Some vendors offer many choices of panel profiles, this one including a traditional corrugated profile: [www.mbci.com]
