With the goal of constructing a state-of-the-art distribution facility, Tilt-Up was selected for its architectural flexibility, speed of construction and cost-effectiveness. The architectural detail and first-class landscaping create a distribution center with the appearance of a Class A office facility.
Constructed at the Old Louisville Motor Speedway site, extensive demolition and challenging site conditions added to the complexity of the project. The facility offers a tan and green color scheme and is highlighted through the use of glass, aluminum framing and an upgraded paint system. A two-story curtain wall accented with aluminum perforated panels adds an increased level of detail at entry points. Stand-alone architectural Tilt-Up panels highlighted by decorative aluminum and steel were used to accentuate the corner entrances.
Special architectural treatments include perforated anodized aluminum panels, a two-story glass curtain wall and galvanized ornamental steel fabrications.
