The architect wanted a very low profile for the building, which is an addition to an existing building. An “epicore” concrete deck was used for the roof surrounding the dome – ensuring maximum clear height with minimum depth of structure. Tilt-Up panels were hung on the side of the round concrete columns at the covered canopy along the social hall and columns were formed round at the bottom (the visible portion) and square above (hidden behind the soffits) to simplify panel connections.

A section of the building features a domed roof that projects above the surrounding structure. Four panels with slender legs support four spandrel panels, creating an octagon in plan. The eight panels have louver openings and support radial steel arched trusses creating the roof dome.

A variety of architectural treatments were used to create the desired look including integration of the clerestory within Tilt-Up, radius and coffered ceiling features, as well as a dome ceiling. Extensive casework throughout is evident through the use of marble floors and stone walls. A wood canopy at the entry extends through the curtain wall and into the building. Arriscraft stone veneer wraps the panels at the front entry and extends into the building.
