This structure was built to add classrooms, library, chapel and a commons area to an existing school. School administrators wanted the facility to project a strong, secure image that related well to the existing campus buildings.

The tilt-up contractor, Daedalus Construction Company, poured 10.5 inch thick insulated panels comprising 2.5 inches of fascia concrete, 2 inches of insulation, and 6 inches of concrete on the interior. Brick accent strips were used to match the brick in the old school. The front chapel wall was cast in one piece, approximately 36-feet wide by 28-feet tall. Lightweight concrete was used to reduce the lifting weight of this wall to 30 tons.

THERMOMASS walls made this educational facility a healthy and safe one. By creating a building envelope that is both thermally efficient and moisture resistant, THERMOMASS helps impede mold growth within the building's walls.

The resulting design will allow the school to reconfigure the interior non-bearing walls in any way necessary to meet present and future needs.
