The Lunda Community Center is more than just a community center. This 113,000 square foot facility is a place for all ages to come together and enjoy fitness, laughter, friendships and create lasting memories. The Community Center houses the School District Field House, Senior Center and the Boys and Girls Club, benefiting all aspects of the community. The facility has a basketball, racquetball, volleyball and gym available for the school district and a community pool area, fitness center, and meeting/activities area.
Spancrete worked in partnership with Market & Johnson, Harwood Engineering and Zimmerman Architectural Studios to create this unique facility that is unlike any other community center in Western WI.
Spancrete provided architectural wall panels, structural beams, columns, and plank. The wall panels for this project had multiple design finishes and pigments. A custom design featuring a brick inlay finish combined with an acid etched finish created a truly one of a kind finish. The wall panels used throughout the building are load bearing and insulated for an R value of 18. Also, the rotunda contained architectural and structural precast elements including 4-sided architectural finishes and curved panels.
This project was constructed during the winter months and crews were faced with the constant unpredictable weather conditions, however precast allowed for construction to move forward during these months and the team continued to meet the aggressive winter schedule despite the unpredictable northern Wisconsin weather.
The building of this facility provides a gathering place for the entire community; by producing it with precast, it is low maintenance and carries a longevity that far exceeds other building materials. Precast is also weather, pest, and fire resistant and it also provides a safe and worry-free environment for the community and owners.
Spancrete is proud to be a part of this community project which resulted in a unique and multi-functional facility for use by everyone for years to come. |
