At Chippewa Valley Technical College’s brand new, state-of-the-art Transportation Education Center, you can drive your future to an in-demand career in the transportation industry. When Molin Concrete Products Company was invited to provide a proposal on this project, the project architect had already specified a special form liner and had a color scheme chosen that would give the new facility an
updated contemporary feel.
Once awarded the project, precast concrete samples with color and textures were produced for the architect and owner for review. By being able to see, touch, and feel these samples, the owner and architect were able to better visualize how the completed building would look. A mockup panel was then produced for the architect and owner that illustrated the final color and texture selections as well as project specific details.
The 42,600 square feet of insulated architectural precast concrete wall panels incorporate multiple colors and finishes to add depth and character to the structure. One of the finishes selected was an etch finish on a white architectural concrete mix at the corrugated form liner panels which gave depth to the façade. Other wall panels utilized a light and a dark architectural concrete mix with a light blast finish.
In addition to the architectural precast concrete wall panels, Molin produced 1,600 square feet of solid precast concrete wall panels and 7,800 square feet of hollow core plank. Throughout the process, Molin’s project manager and field superintendent coordinated site access, crane and trucking logistics, safety, and installation plans to make sure installation was completed on budget and on schedule. |
