The architectural design featuringprecast concrete in this 1073-carparking facility deftly integrates it withthe several other precast, prestressedconcrete buildings in the St. JosephHospital complex. Stairlelevatortowers act as a foil for the building’sstrong horizontal planes, creating ahandsome composition on all elevations. A total of 1600 pieces of structural and architectural precast concrete were used, including doubletees, columns, wall panels, spandrels,cladding panels, colored inlaid trimbands, and planters.

Geometry reigns supreme in thismeticulously proportioned officetower and banking hail pavilion. Thecircle and the square predominate,creating a dynamic interplay of visualinterest. The tower walls consist ofthick precast concrete units clad incream-colored French limestone. Thecylindrical concrete tower structureprovides a 39-ft. clear span from coreto exterior wall, allowing maximumspace planning flexibility. Because ofthe lateral strength of the concretecylinder, shear walls were not required. Precast concrete elementsare used throughout: 12-ft. sq. panelsin the banking hall; payers articulatethe adjacent park; and precast unitsform the amphitheater, a focal pointof the park.

Jury comment: “An extremely controlled building, carried off beautifully.The precast units are used consistently throughout in a very, very cleanstatement.”

The circle was chosen as the basisfor a unique architectural statementin this boathouse incorporating a training center and restaurant. The designtakes full advantage of the site’s riverfront views. Architectural precastconcrete was selected for the building’s skin because of its durabilityand the ease with which it could be

f ast into a curved shape. The exteriorace of the wall panels was cast with

a 60-ft. radius to conform to the circular plan; the interior face of eachwall panel is flat to facilitate connecting to the buildings conventionalsteel rigid frame. The precast concrete panels give a pleasing textureto the exterior surface. Rusticatedjoints add further interest to the building’s nicely proportioned shape.

Jury comment: “A well handledmodernist solution, a very skillfulgeometric expression. Shows thatconcrete is the ideal material forcurved shapes.”

An unusually cooperative effort between an older, downtown churchand a private development companyresulted in this 14-story, mixed-usecommercial and residential building.Sharing its site with the landmark Victorian church, the building reflectsmany of the vintage details of itsneighbor. Architectural precast concrete was chosen for exterior wallsbecause it readily lends itself to forming a variety of shapes with plant-controlled quality — in this case, spandrels, windows, gables, arches, cornices and column covers. Varying

aggregate mixtures were used to introduce color to highlight sills, springblocks and arched openings. Panelscast with granite veneers arefeatured on the building’s base. Theglazed window assemblies were castinto the wall panels; this productioneconomy, combined with the inherentspeed of precast erection, producedan enclosed building even sooner.

Jury comment: “A masterful patternof massing and detailing. The precasttechnology is superb, beautifullydone.”

Precast prestressed concrete plays aprominent and dual role in the MSAresearchlmanufacturing complex. Usedin load-bearing structural piers andwalls as well as non-bearing panels,the material’s ability to function bothstructurally and esthetically is adroitlyexpressed. Working with spans of upto 44 ft., designers created skylightsand continuous windows that providean abundance of natural light andpanoramic views of the surroundingwoodlands. Precast panels featuresmooth and textured surfaces, and avariety of lines, reveals and edgechamfers add warmth and interest.

Precast prestressed concrete is usedto good effect in this 200-unit, high-rise residential complex. The precastprestressed composite floor systemallowed fast erection and early entryof other trades. Architectural precastwall elements are non-structural andstructural units, dependent upon theirlocation and the architectural concept.The color, texture and depth of the architectural precast units provide asubtle modulation to the building’sfacade, and the granite aggregateprovides an appropriate quality of material. Precast concrete panels provide a durable wall finish, importantbecause the building is located justone block from the ocean and exposedto heavy salt-laden air. The project includes ground-level townhouses, retailspace, a 142-car parking garage andan indoorloutdoor recreation area.

Evansville’s new airport terminal building encloses 140,000 sq. ft. of space,nearly three times the size of the terminal it replaced. An exposed, sand-blasted, precast concrete frame establishes the rhythm for the glasscurtain wall, clerestory, and skylight

features. The resulting interplay ofstructure, natural light and interiorspaces makes a dramatic statement, yetone produced with economy. With atab of $9.2 million, this is one of thelowest costing new terminals in the U.S.
