This is a two-storey school building, for which all
components except the roof were precast. Precast was
selected for speed and ease of construction, and
insulated wall panels were used to help maintain
consistent temperatures in all seasons, thus reducing
utility costs. An average of fifteen wall panels was
erected per day, with hollowcore planks being installed
as required by the construction sequence. Erection was
completed in four weeks. Wall-to-wall connections were
located above the dropped ceilings in order to present a
cleaner look in the building.
