Project/Precast Scope
- Precast concrete’s economic qualities allowed for a cost-effective, yet long-term solution to support Emory Musculoskeletal Institute and its patients for the long-term.
- Natural limestone, simulated honed, medium-abrasive blast, and light-abrasive blast finishes were applied to the 35,000 ft² of precast concrete panels to achieve the intended design aesthetic.
- Curved precast panels provide structural fluidity that mimics the human body. Some of these panels span more than 11 ft in width.
