Proj Overview

Project Overview

Due to rapid growth in the school district, administrators needed a high-quality K–12 classroom addition constructed on an accelerated schedule but within budget. Blending precast concrete modules and site construction, the 16,434 square feet (1,527 m2) addition was completed in seven months. A prefinished metal wall panel on a parapet wall was installed in alternating heights to provide a feature that contrasted with the customized concrete finishes.

Precast Solution

The design features a combination of exterior finishes, including a stencil-and-dye brick pattern stamped into the precast concrete during casting and a direct-applied textured color finish applied on-site. The building’s long lines were broken up by alternating sections, and coordinating exterior finishes were offset by 2 feet (0.6 m).
