Construction Material

1. The fly tower was constructed utilizing up to 50 foot horizontal spanning precast wall panels, 80 foot tall precast wind columns, and a 45 foot clear span steel roof. Precast concrete was chosen over other building materials, primarily due to the three month construction time saving.
2. The auditorium was constructed using precast floor plank bearing on steel, concrete, and masonry. The balcony level had steel beams cantilevering approximately 20’, with 8” precast plank spanning between the beams. The roof was an approximately 125’ clear span roof joist spaced at 10’ on center, with 40 pounds per square foot ballast.
3. The classroom wing was constructed using 12” precast floor plank bearing on masonry walls, and a steel joist roof bearing on masonry.
