South Regional Library
2007 Tilt-Up Achievement Award Winner :: Special Projects Division
Submitted by: Tilt-Con Corporation
Having demonstrated its ability to complete complex projects, Tilt-Con was selected to provide a library for a growing community with adequate space for a young adult area, study rooms and multipurpose rooms as well as a gift shop and coffee bar.
Some of the challenging architectural treatments of this project included insulated panels, spandrel glass, integrated color panels, and a sandblast finish.
The exterior sandblast finish required careful attention to ensure the color stayed consistent throughout the building; therefore, tight control was placed on water to cement ratios, and the cement was only mixed during certain times of the day to produce an identical finish.
With the speed and efficiency of Tilt-Up, Tilt-Con met both time and budget constraints.
