Precast Case Studies in Institutional Buildings - RAMSA
Alternative options to building enclosure are evaluated on every project. Often architectural precast is selected for its aesthetic versatility, our ability to collaborate with precast producers to find optimal and creative solutions, and due to accelerated construction benefits. This webinar will review three different projects that illustrate how architectural precast concrete helped our firm achieve client project and program goals.
