Building Materials – Proposed Material Palette Molecular and Life Sciences BuildingWesleyan University

Terracotta

• Clay material, brown color –contemporary reinterpretation of both brick and brown stone

• High quality material• High performance envelope• Long life• Extremely low maintenance• Can replace individual tiles• Thin exterior wall saves usable space• Lower initial cost than Brownstone• Quick construction• Option to reclad Exley Science in future
